Find a specific couple of lines of code from large git repo
- by mustISignUp
So i remember that i once did something in another project and (later removed it), that could be useful now. Thanks to some other SO post i managed to search for a half remembered string..
git grep halfRemeberedNameOfFunction $(git log -g --pretty=format:%h)
and Yay! got some results
2d0bcde:path/to/project/file.c: result = halfRemeberedNameOfFunction( data );
65fc672:path/to/project/file.c: result = halfRemeberedNameOfFunction( data );
24f2858:path/to/project/file.c: result = halfRemeberedNameOfFunction( data );
252e3a5:path/to/project/file.c: result = halfRemeberedNameOfFunction( data, args );
b58bc0b:path/to/project/file.c: result = _halfRemeberedNameOfFunction( data, options );
dce8d9d:path/to/project/file.c: result = halfRemeberedNameOfFunction( data, moreData );
But how do i get that file at one of those revisions?
Many thanks
