# Git Log

Git log lists commit history. It allows searching and filtering.

- Initiate log:

    ```sh
    git log
    ```

- Retrieve set number of records:

    ```sh
    git log -n 2
    ```

- Search commits by author. Allows user name or a regular expression.

    ```sh
    git log --author="user_name"
    ```

- Search by comment message:

    ```sh
    git log --grep="<pattern>"
    ```

- Search by date:

    ```sh
    git log --since=1.month.ago --until=3.weeks.ago
    ```
