Git search

Git search finds commits in a Git-versioned project by matching text against the commit message, author, committer, or SHA-1 ID.

Note

Git search is available only for projects under Git version control.

To search commits, select the Search button () on the main toolbar, or the arrow next to it, then Git Search on the dropdown menu.

Search settings

Enter your search text in the String field. Git search matches it against:

  • The commit message.
  • The author and committer lines.
  • The SHA-1 ids of the commit, its parent commits, and its tree.

Select Search. The results open in a Search view, grouped by repository when shown as a tree.

Double-click a commit in the Search view to open it in the commit viewer.
