Greeting Dear community.

How we can find the time point and commit label of a specific word/change being merged into a file in a branch in Git.

Example: we know the word <is_pending_to_pay> is the new word/change and we want to find when it is being merged into the branch

We have 2 branches off the master. Branch_1 and Branch_2

We can find when that change/word is being introduced into Branch_2

However, that change/word is NOT suppose to be in Branch_1 but it does.

We try to find when it happens of the merge history of Branch_1 but no luck.

So we go to Branch_2 again with that commit label when that word/change is being merge but we cant find the same label??

Thanks for all the help

You can start with the pickaxe option of git log

git checkout Branch1
git log -Sis_pending_to_pay --first-parent

You will see the first commit where is_pending_to_pay was introduced.
