I have in git a code where my colleagues cloned and sent me pull requests, but I think there’s duplicate code between them.
I added their repositories to my machine and want to compare a file from different repositories.
Example: compare the file Arduino/main/main.ino from the remote repository "so-and-so" with the same file as the remote repository "bertrano".

git diff remote1/branch remote2/branch file.rb
Being remote1 and remote2 the name of the remote repositories, and branch the Git branch you want to buy. See the documentation of git-diff.
That’s what I did, although this command differentiates all branch files. What I wanted was to compare only one file.
@Viniciusdesantana can use git diff path/to/file.rb. See my edit.
Until now I was using the previous way that compares all the files, after the project that originated the question few were the times I needed to compare files (see, we are in March) but I am about to embark on a new group project and I will use this solution, thank you.

I suggest downloading a tool like Winmerge and using it to compare the root folders of each clone. You can view the comparison between each file of the subfolders.

I don’t use Windows. ( I was trying to differentiate with the command itself
git diffand using the commit code I was able to differentiate all the files between them (the commit’s ), unfortunately I could not, not only a file as expected. Solves for now because it had two different files between them, but I will still search a solution as I want, file by file.– Vinicius de Santana
If you only want to compare files, line by line, I recommend using Meld. A visual diff tool.
