Copy diff / patch of selected files / commits to clipboard
Background:
GitKraken already allows users to select multiple files and/or commits and "Create a patch from the selection". This feature is wonderful and extremely helpful for AI-driven development workflows, but it's cumbersome to constantly create patch files, only to then have to navigate to them, open them, select all their contents, and copy to clipboard.
Proposal:
It would be much better if I could simply copy the patch/diff of my selection to the clipboard.
Anyone working with AI tools will find this completely invaluable. The most powerful use case for this is to facilitate easier regression investigations.
Example workflow:
- Select a set of files or commits that are known to have introduced a regression, and create a patch/diff
- Copy the entire diff into the AI chat of your choice. Explain the behavior before & after the diff
- Immediately find out what code change caused the regression.

Mark BenchI second this feature! I'm coming from TortoiseHg (Mercurial) where I used that feature extensively.
