Compare two remote git repositories
-
It is possible to compare two git remote repositories ? Those two repositries were clone, and I need to see if the source repository was updated. I didn't see any example of how to do that ... and I am thinking its not possible ?!

Depends what tools you're using. For the command-line, there are several suggestions in this StackOverflow thread[^].

If you don't have access to it, then there's no way to know what's in it. You can't even perform a manual comparison.

First you must have access to both of them. At least to download. You do not need permission to modify. Then if it was me I would download both to different directories on my local computer. Then I would get a tool that does file comparisons. Myself I use both WinMerge (free) and BeyondCompare (need to buy.)

Right click the branch you are targeting and select Compare with Current Branch. Alternatively, you can utilize the branch list on the Git Repository window to access the same command.

- Why are you replying to me, and not the OP? 2) How do you think that's going to work when the OP has said they don't have access to one of the branches they want to compare? :doh:
