Git productivity questions #9

Closed pomerantsev closed 10 years ago

pomerantsev commented 10 years ago

What is the easiest way to find out when a change has happened? What I'm interested in is, when was a specific line added and why? When I use git blame (generally inside Sublime Text), it points me to a commit when the line has changed. I use git show -p to see what happened in that commit, and I generally see that the line was not added, but it was moved or tweaked, but the essence stayed the same. So then I check out a previous commit and start all over again. Is there a faster way?

It might be a good idea to log all the commits (optionally with -p flag indicating that it should display the -p-atch) where a specific file changed: git log -- . But other than that, it seems to be tricky to make git track changes to a specific line (which might have different numbers in each commit. Closing for now.
