Contents

# find all the authors
git authors --list | sort

Finding strings

git grep 'searching'

Find commits

# search for author
git log --author "Chris Guest" 

# find mentions of configuration (-p prints the diff and grep shows the lines of code) 
git log -S "configuration" -p | grep configuration

# find mentions of cheatsheet by author
git log --author "Chris Guest" -S "cheatsheet" -p

Dates

# find commits between certain dates.
git log --after="2023-10-11" --before="2023-10-15"

Finding files

# find files called SEARCHING.md
git log --all --full-history --name-status -- '**/SEARCHING.md' 

# find files containing log 
git log --all --full-history --name-status -S "searching"

# show file contents for a revision
git show f45e60a25e667cf836fc4d8b763c4d9603a4f5d5:36_git/sections/SEARCHING.md

# show history from a revision
git log 7cc62a0083ae153044e1bfe880cde81ef2e42e1e -- 36_git/sections/SEARCHING.md

git rev-list --all | (
    while read revision; do
        git grep -l 'searching' $revision
    done
)
