How to visually see diff between two git commits on github

Question

I understand I can run a git command locally to see them in the terminal, but I want to see them visually on github. Is this possibly?

I want to be able to see the diff between two commits, NOT two branches.

Yes - you can compare two commits via the compare UI:

https://github.com/orgname/reponame/compare/<hash1>...<hash2>

You can find the hash values by visiting the Commits tab and copying the commit hash for each commit you're interested in.

To compare the two commits c3a414e and faf7c6f from the linguist repository go to https://github.com/github/linguist/compare/c3a414e..faf7c6f.

See Comparing Commits in the GitHub documentation.
