how to DIFF all commits returned by git log --grep='1234567'? How to see all changes made in the source code for some task?

I use commit messages like '#1111 some name' where #1111 is task id.

so to find all commits related to that task I use

git log --grep='1111'

but if I need to see ALL changes for the whole task, I should execute git show for each commit. It is not convenient since commits change each other.

During the implementation, those commits are in the separate branch so I can easily compare it to origin/master. But after the merge, I lose such ability.

So the question:

How to see a diff of all commits that are listed by git log --grep='1111' ?

How to see all changes made in the source code for some task?

Solution

  • git log can show the diff for every commit with an option -p/--patch:

    git log --grep='1111' -p
