GitHub – List commits by author

by

If the author has a GitHub account, just click the author’s username from anywhere in the commit history, and the commits you can see will be filtered down to those by that author:

You can also click the ‘n commits’ link below their name on the repo’s “contributors” page:

Alternatively, you can directly append ?author=<theusername> or ?author=<emailaddress> to the URL. For example, https://github.com/jquery/jquery/commits/master?author=dmethvin or https://github.com/jquery/jquery/commits/[email protected] both give me:

For authors without a GitHub account, only filtering by email address will work, and you will need to manually add ?author=<emailaddress> to the URL – the author’s name will not be clickable from the commits list.

You can also get the list of commits by a particular author from the command line using

git log --author=[your git name]

Example:

git log --author=Prem
