Gregory's Server@b0rk my understanding of "git pickaxe" is it's the same as "git's meat cleavers" in Travis Swicegood's old talk from more than a decade ago. In other words, various flavors of interactive rebase (`git rebase -i`)

 @brianfenton oh it's `git log -S`? I love that flag, no idea it was called a pickaxe (???) @b0rk apparently? no idea how that came to be, but I think it's one of those plumbing (non-porcelain) that escaped into the wild https://git-scm.com/docs/gitdiffcore#_diffcore_pickaxe_for_detecting_additiondeletion_of_specified_string |
@b0rk my mistake, he also covers bisect, normal rebase, and amending commits https://speakerdeck.com/tswicegood/gits-meat-cleavers
... and a quick google search shows I'm completely wrong 🤦🏻♂️ Apologies. It's a way to search the commit log for when a specific term was added/removed/modified http://www.philandstuff.com/2014/02/09/git-pickaxe.html
