I’ve needed the git log of a deleted file countless times. Sometimes
you want to know who deleted it. Sometimes why. Sometimes you need
something from that deleted file. The
command to do this requires 3 options and I can never remember it.
git log-deleted path/to/where/the/file/was.txt
Once you’ve got the log, you can then checkout any of the hashes it shows you.
This is a simple wrapper around git log so if the file isn’t found
you’ll get a blank response, and a successful exit, because that’s what git
log does for files it can’t find.
Usage: please supply a path to the deleted file you want a log of
