Open a whole diff

[jacekkopecky]

I can't seem to find a way to see a commit, or the current staged or unstaged changes all as a single view of all changed chunks, like what git diff would show. In GitHub, diffs are viewed like this.

There is a VSCode extension, caponetto/vscode-diff-viewer, which can show a diff file like that, including the "Viewed" button. For me, this is a favourite way of reviewing changes across multiple files.

Here's the feature I'm requesting:

Wherever GitLens can show a list of changed files, there should be an option to open the whole diff as one editor.

For example, in the Commits list inside Source Control, every commit has "Open changes" in its context menu. Among those changes there could be something like "Open diff".

What do you think?

I'll be happy to try to work on this.

If anyone is interested, I've just published an extension Whole Diff that covers this.

I think this is a duplicate

Closing because VS Code has moved on and has a multi-file diff now, and my extension is good enough for me.
