How to find commits by a specific user in Git? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

git log --author=<pattern> will show the commit log filtered for a particular author. (--committer can be used for committer if the distinction is necessary).

Solution 2:

Try this:

git log --author=<name or email>

or pass the same option to gitk, or if already in gitk, go to view > new view, and fill in the appropriate field. The name doesn't have to be exact; it's matched as a regex (a substring, in the trivial case) against the author field.
