mewmew / guldkorn Goto Github PK

Thanks for publishing this tool :-)

I worked on something similar in p(y)arallel. What do you think about not just displaying "status" and basic info about the fork, but opening GitHub's own compare-URL in the browser itself to review the changes?

Would that be a useful addition for guldkorn?

Might this be solvable ...

... by checking the origin's commit list for a commit with matching author AND a different committer or for the same message?

I tried the rather dirty git-based way just now, but this didn't work:

1. git clone --depth=1 ORIGIN_URL
2. git remote add $forkRepoName FORK_URL
3. git fetch --depth=1 $forkRepoName $forkBranchName
4. Then, git diff --exit-code$defaultBranch $forkRepoName/$forkBranchName didn't produce 0 because later changes on $defaultBranch caused a new diff.

When comparing forks where the original repository has not been updated in a long time, it would be useful to find the "newest" fork, to find forks where active work is happening. As such, being able to sort the output by latest commit date would be useful.
