Sorry about that. I just looked for -S as that's all that I ever use for performance reasons, but you are correct as you do mention a diff search example.

Something not mentioned is git log -S"pattern" This is useful for searching diffs. If your repo is small this is quite fast. However for large repos, it can be slow which is why I use my own diffs indexer. Below is a screenshot

I think I read Atlassian was going IPO this year which was why I couldn't dissociate GitHub from GrubHub for the longest time. Since they are both going after the coveted enterprise market, I automatically assumed it was GitHub and th

I'm not sure I would recommend this for 90% of the people out there and I build a product ( http://gitsense.com ) around it. Using Gitlab, gitolite, etc. would be much wiser choice in my opinion.

This is certainly a step in the right direction. I too find the thumbnails to be an EXTREMELY distracting. And in my opinion, offer absolutely no value. If this was an image search, then a thumbnail would be useful. But seeing unreadable

The thing with "As Good" and "X times better" is they are subjective terms. In the PC vs Mac debate, "As Good" can vary greatly from individual to individual, which means pricing is really a moot point. Howev

My product is a read-only solution, which simplifies my technical requirements, but it basically de-emphasizes the repository, by making branches the focal point. If you have ever worked with UCM ClearCase by IBM, you'll understand th
