How to get the diff for a pull request in Jenkins?

Let's say I made a pull request against a branch called temp. My commits are c1, c2 and c3. How to get the diff for the that PR?

I can use git diff HEAD~3 HEAD but if I don't know I am 3 commits ahead of temp, how do i do that? How to do on Jenkins? using variables like env.BRANCH_NAME?

git diff temp...HEAD

It is equivalent to git diff $(git merge-base temp HEAD) HEAD.

Suppose the history of temp is A-B-C-D-E and the one of HEAD is A-B-c1-c2-c3. git merge-base temp HEAD is B and git diff B HEAD is the combined diff of c1, c2, and c3.
