Search through git commit messages
Problem:
How do you find the commits associated with a specific story?
Context:
At Nulogy, we use a story tracking system that assigns a number to each story. When we’re developing, we tag each commit message with the story number:
$ git commit -m "#1234 - refactors spec"
Solution:
We can use git log --grep
, which greps the commit messages in the repo:
$ git log --grep="#1234"
