I removed the information for episode #25 from my episodes.json
file and later
wanted to recover that data.
Here is how I did it:
git log -S'25' -- episodes.json
This command searches the changes within each commit that affect the count of
string given with -S
. Looks at binary files too.
The output looked a bit like this:
