PR-Review

[Grueslayer]

Hi,

I am stuck in the process for reviewing my changes with fugitve before creating a PR:

Let's assume you create a branch featureX and creating multiple commits and over the time you merge the changes from main into your feature branch to keep it up to date.

If you want to review those, you may use

:G diff origin/main...

But that's only a diff and you cannot do further editing.

:G difftool origin/main...

fills the quickfix and you can open the file at the change you've done (I can reduce that from hunk to file with --name-only or --name-status). Enter just opens the current file but does not visualize the changes. If I want to diff this against the origin/main branch (where I've done the difftool call on) I have to manually retrieve the SHA from the lastest commit on main and then call :Gvdiffsplit 94ce97f1667b0e33b6d42420e8ca98f0a4c3184f by hand.

Sadly this helps only to view the differences because the opened file is the latest committed for the current branch and not my local copy so its read-only).

How we can have something like :Gstatus has for unstaged commits where it shows the difference from current files against a named branch and allows to open a diffview between the local file and the remote one where we can fix something before commiting the final commit and creating a PR?

#132 is maybe a similar problem
