I'm trying to make my own chromium fork so that I can make a browser that suits my needs, but I don't exactly know where to start.
I know that there are many chromium forks out there, so I was going to try and compare 2 GitHub repositories, where one of the repositories would be Chromium, and the other would be Brave so that I would see what Brave changed from chromium so that I would be able to change things like the branding or UI, but I don't know how to compare 2 GitHub repositories.
I've looked around, but none of them are working, or some will work, but they are a little too complicated.
Can someone help me out?
CodePudding user response:
One way would be to clone both repositories locally, and then use Git or a third-party file comparison tool (Winmerge on Windows, kdiff3, ...) to compare the latest codebase from their respective default branch (master
or main
)
Git itself can show you the differences with:
cd /path/to/repos1
git --work-tree=../repo2 diff
