View Commits by Author

Introduction

Git is a powerful version control system that allows developers to track changes made to their codebase. One of the most useful features of Git is the ability to view commits made by a specific author. This can be helpful when trying to track down changes made by a particular team member or when reviewing code contributions.

View Commits by Author

Your task is to retrieve all commits made by a specific author in the git-playground repository. This repository contains a collection of sample projects that you can use to practice your Git skills.

To complete this lab, you will need to use the git log command with the --author option. This will allow you to filter the commit history to only show commits made by the specified author.

To retrieve all commits made by the author "Hang" in the git-playground repository, you can use the following command:

git log --author="Hang"

This will output a list of all commits made by "Hang" in the repository, along with information about the commit message, date, and other details:

[object Object]

Summary

In this lab, you learned how to retrieve all commits made by a specific author in a Git repository. This can be a useful tool for tracking changes made by team members or reviewing code contributions. Remember to use the git log command with the --author option to filter the commit history by author.
