git - Large github commit diff not shown

Question

This happens to me both with Compare view as well as standard commits that are large in the amount of files changed.

The screenshot below is from a compare between two branches with 380 files changed. The files at the beginning of the diff log have their diffs visualized but at a certain point down the page it stops visualizing the diffs. I understand you don't want massive pages but I can't seem to find a way to view a file's diff individually. Instead I have to check these both out locally and do the diff manually.

Does anyone have a simpler solution whether it be software driven or (preferably) a link i'm missing on github?

Answer 1

Adding .patch to the end of the URL somewhat helps. Removes the nice UI and comment functionality, of course.

An example. If your pull request is: https://github.com/JustinTulloss/zeromq.node/pull/47, then the patch can be found at https://github.com/JustinTulloss/zeromq.node/pull/47.patch
