This will be possible with Git 2.4+ (Q2 2015): see commit 22dfa8a by Christoph Junghans (junghans): log: teach –invert-grep option “git log –grep=<string>” shows only commits with messages that match the given string, but sometimes it is useful to be able to show only commits that do not have certain messages (e.g. “show me ones … Read more
git log abc123^..abc123 shows the commits that got merged into merge-commit abc123. Create a git alias log-merge for easy reuse: $ git config –global alias.log-merge \ ‘!f() { git log –stat “$1^..$1”; }; f’ $ git log-merge abc123 For a one-line version: $ git config –global alias.log-merge-short \ ‘!f() { git log –pretty=oneline “$1^..$1”; }; … Read more
To add to bmargulies‘s comment, the complete sequence is: mkdir -p x/p/q # make sure the parent directories exist first git mv x/* x/p/q # move folder, with history preserved git commit -m “changed the foldername x into x/p/q” Try it first to see a preview of the move: git mv -n x/* x/p/q Wolfgang … Read more
git log shows the current HEAD and its ancestry. That is, it prints the commit HEAD points to, then its parent, its parent, and so on. It traverses back through the repo’s ancestry, by recursively looking up each commit’s parent. (In practice, some commits have more than one parent. To see a more representative log, … Read more
To search the commit log (across all branches) for the given text: git log –all –grep=’Build 0051′ To search the actual content of commits through a repo’s history, use: git grep ‘Build 0051’ $(git rev-list –all) to show all instances of the given text, the containing file name, and the commit sha1. Finally, as a … Read more
Use git log to view the commit history. Each commit has an associated revision specifier that is a hash key (e.g. 14b8d0982044b0c49f7a855e396206ee65c0e787 and b410ad4619d296f9d37f0db3d0ff5b9066838b39). To view the difference between two different commits, use git diff with the first few characters of the revision specifiers of both commits, like so: # diff between commits 14b8… and … Read more
Thanks John Bartholomew! The answer is to specify the time, e.g. git log –after=”2013-11-12 00:00″ –before=”2013-11-12 23:59″
Try: git log –reflog which lists all git commits by pretending that all objects mentioned by reflogs (git reflog) are listed on the command line as <commit>.
You could use git whatchanged –since=”1 day ago” -p It also takes a –until argument. Docs
Here’s simpler, “pure Git” way to do it, with no pipeline needed: git log –diff-filter=A — foo.js Check the documentation. You can do the same thing for Deleted, Modified, etc. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#Documentation/git-log.txt—diff-filterACDMRTUXB82308203 I have a handy alias for this, because I always forget it: git config –global alias.whatadded ‘log –diff-filter=A’ This makes it as simple as: … Read more
