Grep your git commit log

This is more for my reference in the future. But if you want to search you commit history for a specific a term that changed in one of your commits, then you can issue the following command:
git grep your-regex-here $(git rev-list –all) For example I did git grep “\’load” $(git rev-list –all) to find the commit that had me removing ‘load’.
Neat.
