Question

I’m looking for a script or application, which can look up in repository, configuration file, commit history etc. of svn or git using some keywords like bugs, defects, fix etc. the application can take any repository link and the keywords and then produce result. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

For Subversion you can try

• SVN-Search or
• SVNQuery.

For Git to find all commits where commit message contains the given keyword you can use

$ git log --grep=keyword

or use the pickaxe-search

$ git log -Skeyword

OpenGrok, a source code search and cross reference engine, would be a possible candidate as well.
