Search for files in given folder modified by specific user using Git












0














Consider a folder structure below:



- core
- src
- models
- User.js
- Item.js
- controllers
- utilities
- web


If one wants a list of all files in models folder that have at least one line modified by user Jack, how can it be done using Git?

          Something like this should work:



          git log --name-only --pretty=format: --author=Jack -- 'src/models' | sort | uniq


          --name-only shows the filenames that have been modified



          --pretty=format: shows nothing else but the filenames



          --author=Jack filters by author of the commit



          -- src/models lets you specify the file pattern you want to match. You could use '*.js' to match all javascript files.



          sort | uniq is to get rid of duplications.

            Something like this should work:



            git log --name-only --pretty=format: --author=Jack -- 'src/models' | sort | uniq


            --name-only shows the filenames that have been modified



            --pretty=format: shows nothing else but the filenames



            --author=Jack filters by author of the commit



            -- src/models lets you specify the file pattern you want to match. You could use '*.js' to match all javascript files.
