How to filter Git log by author
Thursday, November 27, 2025
Filtering Git log by author helps track specific developer contributions and analyze commit patterns for code reviews and project management.
As the creator of CoreUI with 25 years of development experience, I’ve used author filtering extensively for code reviews and team collaboration tracking.
The most effective approach uses the --author flag with git log, supporting both exact matches and regex patterns.
This method provides precise commit history analysis for individual contributors.
