Your approach with git log |grep isPizzaDelivered would work if the string you wanted to find would be in the commit title or description.

git pickaxe is super handy because it will search for the selected string in all the commit changes instead.

Give it a go in one of your projects, it's super useful.

I should include some examples in the blog post to convey my message a little bit clearer.

I'm intrigued to see and learn something new from your fancy regexes. Can you share some of them with us?
Hey

I'm not sure if you really understand how pickaxe described in the blog post works. Let me clarify it for you again:

You could use git log: git log will return you git commit title and body.

With the command that I've described in my blog post you can investigate the whole lifecyle of the changes.

Try doing the same with your technique. I'm curious to see how I can do things in a better way.

Thanks!

I've created a super simple way to share your location. You simply go to mapme.in and then you get a unique link to text, tweet, email to a friend from your phone, tablet or desktop.

I decided to create this after a night out trying to describe where I was to friend. It was too much hassle spelling the street name and I wished I could of texted her a link. They weren't familiar with area.

Appreciate any feedback, its super simple! :-)
