I am writing a Python script and there I need to know all commits for a specific file. In my code I use GitPython for other tasks but for this problem I can't find something.
In cmd line I use:
git log --pretty='%H' file-path 2 Answers
You can query the commits on the 'repo' that you cloned:
commits = repo.iter_commits('--all', max_count=100, since='10.days.ago', paths=path) ...whereby '-all' will return commits on all branches and tags, and path is your filename.
And to use the commits you go like:
for commit in commits: print("Committed by %s on %s with sha %s" % (commit.committer.name, time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M", time.localtime(commit.committed_date)), commit.hexsha)) What we are looking for in Git is:
git log --follow filename not sure GitPython has it tho.
