can bazel test if two rules are identical

I'd like to compare two rules to see whether or not they are identical (in particular, I'd like to be able to test a bazel target before and after a commit to see if it has changed)

Is there a way to accomplish this, perhaps with bazel query?

You can try bazel query with --output=build to have bazel print out the rule with everything expanded (e.g. macros evaluated, globs expanded, expressions evaluated, etc) before and after the change, and compare the results. See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/query.html#output-build for more information.
