How-to find specific information within huge Git Log

This is a hack (not even as much xD), not feature. A simple solution to achieve a complex task powered by the command-line.

  1. redirect the output of git log to a file as git log > .tmp.gitlog.txt
  2. use vim to open that file and search for the query
    • use / to activate search
    • introduce the query to be found

Hope it helps.
