Git Commands
A couple of handy commands to take control of your source!
🖋️
git log -S search_term [filename]

git clean -xdf
The git clean command is used to remove unwanted files from your working directory - this could include removing temporary build artifacts or merge conflict files.
It erases each and every file in your git directory which is NOT part of your repository. All additional files, such as the ones listed in your .gitignore, will be removed.
git clean -xdf

git blame "path/to/file" | grep "text you're interested in"
The git blame command shows what revision and author last modified each line of a file.
Can use grep to find a specific piece of text, or pass additional info like line numbers.
git blame README.md -L 3,5
