How do I view all commits for a specific day?
I've already looked at the relevant docs from git-scm.com and gitref.org, but I can't seem to figure this out.
Let's say I want to get all commits for Tuesday, November 12th, 2013. Using an existing repo as an example, I know for a fact that I have commits on that day, as well as commits the day before and the day after.
With 2013-11-11 and 2013-11-12
All the following give me commits for both November 11th and 12th:
git log --after="2013-11-11" --until="2013-11-12"git log --since="2013-11-11" --until="2013-11-12"git log --after="2013-11-11" --before="2013-11-12"git log --since="2013-11-11" --before="2013-11-12"
With 2013-11-12 only
All the following give me no commits:
git log --since="2013-11-12" --until="2013-11-12"git log --since="2013-11-12" --before="2013-11-12"git log --after="2013-11-12" --until="2013-11-12"git log --after="2013-11-12" --before="2013-11-12"
With 2013-11-12 and 2013-11-13
As expected (from the results of 2013-11-11 and 2013-11-12 above), all of the following give me results from both November 12th and 13th:
git log --since="2013-11-12" --before="2013-11-13"git log --after="2013-11-12" --before="2013-11-13"git log --since="2013-11-12" --until="2013-11-13"git log --after="2013-11-12" --before="2013-11-13"
...and so on and so forth. I feel like I've tried every possible combination of since, after, before, and until but still can't find the answer, nor do I understand whether those options are inclusive or exclusive, since they seem to be inclusive if the two dates are different, but exclusive if they're on the same day. Did I miss something / what am I doing wrong?!
Answer
The answer is to specify the time, e.g. git log --after="2013-11-12 00:00" --before="2013-11-12 23:59"
