TortoiseGit Regex filter

Question

I have a GIT repo and many commits from a guy which did tons of initial commits which we did when moving on GIT from SVN.

Now I want to exclude the guys commit from the history for which i want to make a statistic.

I tried filters like

-username, (?!^username$)

with regex turned on and so on... but none of them want to work. How can I filter out a user from my commit log?

The one which you get when you right click the repo folder and go on TortoiseGit and click on Show Log.

Answer 1

Try changing your RegEx to: ^(?!^username$). This will result in a positive match, but if you want to retrieve the actual username matching this condition, change the RegEx to: ^(?!^username$).+.

Answer 2

TortoiseGit 1.8.7.1 will support negative log filter

It starts with an exclamation mark. Please uncheck regular expression, as it is not regex.

You may use Toggle checked filters to help uncheck all filters other than Authors.

Expression !You means to exclude You
