Git Spelunking

• https://tekin.co.uk/2020/11/patterns-for-searching-git-revision-histories

Find all commits containing a particular piece of code

git log -S "method_name"

See the diffs alongside the commit messages

git log -S "method_name" -p

Find the commit that first added some code

git log -S "method_name" -p --reverse

Limit the scope of the search

git log -S "some code" -p app/models/user.rb

Search the commit messages themselves

git log --grep "commit message search"
