Searching for sha1 id, finding a specific commit

Bjarne· Jun 8, 2010, 11:50 UTC · lore

I've searched a lot trying to find is there are a way to find a specific commit. Use case: I fixed a bug and want to paste a unique direct link in my bugtracker tool to the commit, or simple one click search in gitweb.

Since the commit name is not unique, this isn't good enough. I'm sure there is a way but i cant find it.

Regards Bjarne

git log --grep="something you wrote in the commit message"
  or
git log -S'something you wrote in the patch'

should, with some searching from within less, provide you with the unique sha1 id which you can then use to construct a url to gitweb.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
