Find substring in recent commits messages

I’m looking for a substring in the most recent commits from my repository.

I use the command git log -n1 --grep='${subString}'.

But using the flag -nI’m just gonna get the last commit, which is technically the most recent. Ex:

commit 1a1a
Author: Gabriel Hardoim
Date: 2018-08-20 13:30:40

       Esse commit tem a substring

But it can, and probably will, happen that there is more than one commit made recently, which makes the flag -n inefficient.

Ex:

commit 2b2b
Author: Gabriel Hardoim
Date: 2018-08-20 13:40:02

       Esse commit não tem

commit 1a1a                             //Nesse caso, esse é o commit que eu quero.
Author: Gabriel Hardoim
Date: 2018-08-20 13:30:40 

       Esse commit tem a substring

There are still the most common cases, where there are several commits with the substring that I’m looking for.

Ex:

commit 2b2b
Author: Gabriel Hardoim
Date: 2018-08-20 13:40:02

       Esse commit não tem

commit 1a1a                             //Nesse caso, esse ainda é o commit que eu quero.
Author: Gabriel Hardoim
Date: 2018-08-20 13:30:40 

       Esse commit tem a substring

commit 3c3c
Author: Gabriel Hardoim
Date: 2018-08-20 13:20:11

       Esse commit também tem a substring

commit 4d4d                             
Author: Gabriel Hardoim
Date: 2018-08-20 13:13:05 

       Esse commit também não tem

Whereas commits went to the remote repository by the same command git push, what can I do to find a substring in the most recent commit message??

git substring

  • git log -1 -p ":/subString"? I’m not sure I understand this very well, but git log allows you to fetch the last commit containing the message, in this case subString

You can use the/shell/linux terminal grep instead.

git log | grep --context=4 "TEXTO"

A simple git log in conjunction with the linux grep, asking to "group" the results in 4 lines back.

In my local test, you displayed three commits whose descriptive messages had the word searched.
