Log filter

How to filter results in the commit history?

There are various arguments you can add to git log. Here are some commonly used attributes you can filter on

• Author

  • git log --author="Jason"

• Date

  • git log --since="2023-07-22"

  • git log --before="2023-06-01"

  • git log --after="1998-05-30"

• Messege

  • git log --grep="bug"

• File

  • git log -- analyse.py

You can combine these filters, e.g.

git log --author="David Johns" --before="2023-07-20" --after="2020-01-01" --grep="registration"
