There are two Git repositories of one project, the history of commits is erased in one of them.

How to compare files in them and find differences?

    in what sense is the history of commits erased? if there is no history in the repository, there are no commits in it either. - PashaPash ♦

    The repository (git) is, in fact, the set of commits. if there are no commits, then this is not a repository, and there is simply nothing to compare with. - aleksandr barakin
  • @alexanderbarakin how to compare files for identity? perhaps not using git itself? - Matthew Haig

    @MatthewHaig, diff, for example. - aleksandr barakin

Without commits, your repository is just a file folder.

And there are many tools for comparing folders.
Console: comp (win) and diff (nix).
And visual: WinMerge Windows and Kaleidoscope poppy.
I use the latter periodically successfully.
