// Jenkins only checks out the branch for performance reasons so to be able to do more advanced git commands we need to
// also fetch master (or anything else you need)
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage ("info") {
            when {
		        changeRequest()
			}
			steps {
				powershell 'gci env:\\ | ft name,value -autosize'
				
                // add a ref to git config to make it aware of master
                powershell '& git config --add remote.origin.fetch +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master'
				
                // now fetch master so you can do a diff against it 
                powershell '& git fetch --no-tags'
				
                // do the diff and set some variable based on the result
                powershell '''
					$DiffToMaster = & git diff --name-only origin/master..origin/$env:BRANCH_NAME
					Switch ($DiffToMaster) {
						'server-1607/base.json' {$env:PACK_BASE = $true}
						'server-1607/basic.json' {$env:PACK_BASIC = $true}
						'server-1607/algo.json' {$env:PACK_ALGO = $true}

Thanks, this helped a lot!
