tig: Show the difference between two references (such as branches or tags).
$ tig ${base_ref}..${compared_ref}
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the "tig" tool with two arguments: "${base_ref}" and "${compared_ref}".

"tig" is a text-based interface for Git, a version control system. It helps visualize and browse Git repositories commit history.

"${base_ref}..${compared_ref}" is specifying a range of commits to display in "tig". It represents the difference between two commit references, "${base_ref}" and "${compared_ref}". These references can be branch names, commit hashes, or tags.

When running the command, "tig" will display the commits and changes between the two references specified in "${base_ref}" and "${compared_ref}". This allows users to easily understand the differences between different points in the repository's history.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
