Case-insensitive git pickaxe search

Question

I\'m trying to find all commits where a particular string or arbitrary capitalisation thereof (e.g. foobar ,FooBar, fooBar) was introd

Answer 1

The way the -i is used with pickaxe (see commit accccde, git 1.7.10, April 2012) is:

git log -S foobar -i --oneline
# or
git log --regexp-ignore-case -Sfoobar
# or
git log -i -Sfoobar

Note that with 1.x git versions this option will not work with a regexps, only with a fixed string. It works with regexps only since git 2.0 and commit 218c45a, git 2.0, May 2014.
