git log --all --grep=<searchterm>

Search commit messages in all branches

This command searches through the commit messages in all branches of the repository for any occurrences of <searchterm>.

It displays the commit logs that match the search term specified, helping to quickly locate relevant changes or notes.

Variations include using -i for a case-insensitive search, -n <number> to limit the number of results, and combining with --author=<name> to filter commits by a specific author.

Specific examples:

  • git log --all --grep='carousel'
