| You can compare your base repository and any forked repository. This is the view that's presented when a user performs a Pull Request to a project. | ||
| To compare branches on different repositories, preface the branch names with user names. For example, by specifying `octocat:main` for `base` and `octo-org:main` for `compare`, you can compare the `main` branch of the repositories respectively owned by `octocat` and `octo-org`. | ||

For example, by specifying `octocat:main` for `base` and `octo-org:main` for `compare`, you can compare the `main` branch of the repositories respectively owned by `octocat` and `octo-org`. You can also preface the branch name with a user name and a repository name. For example, specifying `octocat:awesome-app:main` would use the `main` branch in the `octocat/awesome-app` repository. This can be useful in large organizations, where you might have an upstream repository and a fork both owned by the organization.
