Question

I know from my server logs that an error first starts appearing at a certain time many days ago.

To deploy, I issue a git pull on my server.
I want to find out what commits were pulled around the time the errors started to show up.

Looking at the logs, the <author date> and <committer date> both give the same date across all repositories (as you’d expect), and they relate to when the commit was committed to git (in the development repository), not when it appeared in the deployment repository.

Any idea if it’s possible to tease out this info from git?

Answer 1

Try this:

git reflog show master@{2.weeks.ago}
