Git log searching
Git treats history like a searchable database. Dates and content can be query parameters. Let's look at a few examples:
Only show commit history earlier than one year ago:
git log --since=1.year.ago
Only show commits that contain content changes with the word nowrap
:
git log -S nowrap
Only show commits that added new files:
git log --diff-filter=A
