Stop Scrolling Through Git History Forever!

Trying to find when a specific function changed — or disappeared?

In this episode of Wait… Git Can Do That?, we show you how to use git log -S'string' to search your Git history for code-level changes.
✅ Use -S to find string adds/removals
✅ Add -p to view the diffs
✅ Bonus: In GitKraken Desktop, search visually and jump straight to changes

Less guessing. More Git superpowers.
