Search Git commits
Back to snippetsTo find the commits whose diff includes a certain word or phrase:
git log -S "<code>" --format=oneline
This will search the current branch for mentions of that word. To search on all branches, you can use:
git log -S "<code>" --source --all
--all
tells git log
to look at all branches, while --source
tells it to specify which branch (ref name) the commit comes from.
