Let’s run the git log -S command on the repository to look for commits where the number of occurrences of the string “ matplotlib” changed: $ git log -S matplotlibįrom the output, we see that the command only returns the first and the last commits. Finally, the third commit removes the import. Then, the second commit modifies the line. The first commit adds the new file main.py and in the file, we add the line import matplotlib.pyplot. To better understand this option, Let’s consider a simple Git repository with the following history: $ git logĬommit 8fe0d4e37bf00f20798e9db8cb383f76f0b72c6e (HEAD -> master)Ĭommit 909b0a026e4115d6ee29a9fd9eeeee389806ecccĬommit 60d9e1be2d0607d8443f1481aee0c8ad3cb0dda8 The -S option only considers a commit as a match if the number of occurrences of the string is changed in that commit. Let’s try running the –grep option on the commit diff: In the command above, we pass the -p option to git log to also print the commit diffs. This however won’t work, because the –grep command looks only at the message body for matches and not the commit diffs even if it’s printed on the console output.įor example, let’s consider a history with only one commit: $ git log -pĬommit 2f477ef3b6db96040e1dd908a958566b4f5f0e77 (HEAD -> master)
Since the -p option makes the git log command also print the commit diffs, could we use the same –grep function to search for both commit message and commit diffs? Therefore, one would be wondering if we can also search for the diffs by passing the -p to the git log command. One common misconception one might have is the idea that the git log –grep will search for everything we can see in the output of the git log. The commit messages and commit diffs can be searched using the git log command. Finally, there’s a commit diff at the end of the commit object that shows the changes this commit introduced. Then, it has the body of the message that the author entered when the commit was made. The Git commit object has a header that shows the commit hash, the author, and the date. +++ -65,7 +65,7 func NewBindingFromConfig(gui *gocui.Gui, influence string, configKeys string, Len() for nil slices is defined as zero (gosimple)ĭiff -git a/runtime/ui/key/binding.go b/runtime/ui/key/binding.go

This can be helpful for finding commits that change a line of code or finding a commit that introduces a bug. When working with Git, it’s often necessary to search for a specific text within a commit message or a commit diff.
