I want to get the latest commit which contains a string. For e.g.
String = TAG_2021_09_0051
I have tried git log --grep "TAG_2021_09_0051"
which gives me below ouput as string is present in two commits. But I want the latest commit from which I want to fetch the commit ID.
commit 12345678
Author: none
Date: Fri Oct 15 21:39:56 2016 0000
@: 1234 - TAG_2021_09_0051
commit 45678965
Author: none
Date: Fri Oct 14 21:39:56 2016 0000
@: 1234 - TAG_2021_09_0051
Is there any way to get the latest git commit which contains a particular string even if string is present in multiple commits?
The actual output should be below commit
commit 12345678
Author: none
Date: Fri Oct 15 21:39:56 2016 0000
@: 1234 - TAG_2021_09_0051

From the git log documentation you want the -n
option (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log):
git log --grep "TAG_2021_09_0051" -n1
