GitHub's /?author=<foo>
differs from command-line Git's --author=<foo>
.
This repository consists of a single commit, with username 'firstname1 lastname1' and email '[email protected]'.
If you limit the commits by the name 'name1', the Git CLI shows this commit:
$ git log --oneline --author=name1
abc1234 Commit as name1
but using --author
on GitHub does not:
https://github.com/pcharlan/commits-by-author/commits/master?author=name1
No commits found for "name1"
Giving the full email address instead of just the name portion will list the commit on GitHub (and the CLI):
https://github.com/pcharlan/commits-by-author/commits/[email protected]
This is command-line Git 2.6.2.
