Description

GitHub allows for the arbitrary comparison of two commits on its /compare endpoint. Codecov’s API also supports these arbitrary comparisons on its /comparison endpoint. Therefore, we should be able to support an arbitrary comparison similar to how we support a Pull Request in the extension (overlay coverage, show totals, etc)

Research direction

Start by tracing how the extension currently supports Pull Requests, including coverage overlays and totals. Compare that flow with GitHub’s /compare endpoint and Codecov’s /comparison API; the work is done when arbitrary commit comparisons provide equivalent overlay coverage and totals.
