Compare two repositories on online editor

Body

I have a few repositories of "same" project on github. One of them is "base", from which all others inherit code. When I change something on my base repository, I usually pull those changes selectively to my other repositories. For that, I have a remote called "base" in my local repositories. I am using visual studio code to compare my current repository with base repository and then selectively checkout files. Can I do something like that with online editor on github or is it limited to only compare branches of same repository?

Found anything for it ? Or I can work on a side project for this.

I haven't found any online tools, but you can compare two repos like this with git:

git remote add -f b path/to/repo_b.git
git remote update
git diff master remotes/b/master
git remote rm b
