Hello,

I would greatly appreciate it if you could create a video demonstrating how to compare two branches locally within GitKraken. Typically, I compare branches by utilizing a pull request in AWS CodeCommit or Azure Devops. However, I would like to explore the option of comparing the changes in my branch directly with another branch, such as the master branch locally, before initiating a pull request. It would be fantastic if you could provide guidance on how to achieve this using GitKraken. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
