How to get authors of changes between two commits?

Question

I am trying to get authors of changes between two commits.

What would be best for me:

git diff --name-only master 

but instead

 --name-only 

eg

 --authors-only 

But, unfortunately, diff does not have this. There are no restrictions, I have to use the diff , git log or others are fine too.

I need to blame the people who caused the tests to fail.

Answer 1

git log --pretty=format:"%an" prevTestCommit..lastTestCommit | sort | uniq

Answer 2

you can use something like

 git log --pretty=format:"%an %aE" f398e997ea9ad81e586b1f751693cd336963ba6a ^bb69eb11d979437a0b390ac9333342e7594c211c 

where the format will print the author’s name and email address and see list commits between two commit hashes in git

for more information on how to use, get commits between two given commits.

Answer 3

Not sure if this exists by default, but you can specify a custom output format for git log :

 git log --pretty="format:%an" 

This will print only the names of the authors. See the PRETTY FORMATS in git log --help for more information.
