History in GitHub website doesn't show commits done from root.

Is there a way to find commits done from root?

Thanks!

    And by "done from root", you mean as in `sudo git commit`? Or what is "root" in this context? – Siguza May 16 '16 at 14:51
  • Note that in the context of Git, "root" usually refers to "root commit", i.e. a commit without parent, typically the first one done on a project. – Matthieu Moy May 16 '16 at 17:07

If root is the author of the commits you can use the --author flag:

git log --author root

If by root you mean a branch named root, then you can go into the command line and type in:

git log | grep -B 2 'root'

This will return all of the commits done by root, and the commit hash.
