I want to get the logs of a specific folder in the repo.
How do I do that in Sublime Merge?
For example, with this tree:
root
├── services
│ ├── pom.xml
│ └── protobuf
└── workers
├── asyncprocess
│ ├── pom.xml
├── demux
│ └── pom.xml
└── pom.xml
Something close to the equivalent of doing:
git log -p workers
So basically I want to narrow the commits by directory.
And git does it recursively.
Regards.
You can use the search functionality to achieve this. eg: a search for path:src/ will give you all the commits affecting files in src/.
I already tried that and it does not work…
And it doesn’t work because path:pattern looks for a pattern of the file, not what I am asking for.
Using the glob patterns produces the same output for me as git log -p {dir}, so I’m not sure what you’re asking for. git log {dir} gives you all the commits affecting files inside {dir}, the same is true for path:{dir}/* searches in Sublime Merge. -p gives you the patches, which Sublime Merge always does on the right hand column.
It doesn’t work as git log -p <folder>.
Because git does it recursively, and that path:pattern does not.
Does anyone know how to do it recursively?
Yes! That did it!
Do you know where is that documented?
Thank you very much @deathaxe !
** is a “glob” pattern. git makes use of it in .gitignore or .gitattributes files. I am glad SM supports them and would whish ST would do as well.
Oh well, I know .gitignore patterns.
But didn’t know I could use them in SM search text-box.
I was referring to SM manual/help.
May the authors can add a note in the Query Syntax help.
Anyway, that made it and I am happy.
