I mean there is newer version of this project in my gitlab(repository). I want to compare how many version differences between this project? I could not explain sorry.

Answer 1

There are 17 projects differences between this project

Except there aren't. Version numbers are in the format major.minor.patch[.revision] . One could go from 3.10.5 to 3.11.0 in one release, or from 3.10.5 to 3.10.347 if there are many bugs in 3.10.5 , and then go to 4.0 because they're done with the old codebase. As how many "differences" does that count?

If you really want to do math on version numbers, but you shouldn't, parse a System.Version and subtract the relevant properties.
