### Compare branches cross forked repositories
To use GitHub to compare branches across forked repositories, change the URL to look like this:
```
https://github.com/user/repo/compare/{foreign-user}:{branch}...{own-branch}
```
eg.:
```
https://github.com/rails/rails/compare/byroot:idempotent-counter-caches...master
```
## Line Highlighting in Repos
Either adding `#L52` to the end of a code file URL or simply clicking the lin number will highlight that line number.
