# Grep Over Commit Messages
|
|
|
|
The `git log` command supports a `--grep` flag that allows you to do a text
|
|
search (using grep, obviously) over the commit messages for that repository.
|
|
For the git user that writes descriptive commit messages, this can come in
|
|
quite handy. In particular, this can be put to use in an environment where
|
|
the standard process involves including ticket and bug numbers in the commit
|
|
message. For example, finding bug `#123` can be accomplished with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git log --grep="#123"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `man git-log` for more details.
