For example, let's say I have a variable "UserFavoriteFood" in a repository and a collaborator committed code that changes the value somewhere and I wasn't aware of it. I want to be able to search commits in the repo to find the ones that have "UserFavoriteFood" in it, ordered by recency. The main use case for this is debugging in a large repo.

1Does it have to be in GitHub, or would a local Git solution work? – Benjamin W. Apr 03 '23 at 19:07

Preferably in GitHub, though either works. – mxdg Apr 03 '23 at 19:10

1For Git, it's a duplicate of [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/2928584/3266847), and for GitHub, I don't think there's a built-in way. – Benjamin W. Apr 03 '23 at 19:11

On GitHub specifically, there's an API to search commits in the default branch: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/search?apiVersion=2022-11-28#search-commits
