Search Git Commits Between Dates

One of my weaknesses as a developer is relying on UIs to provide me the data I need.  It's not a fatal weakness but it does hamper me a bit.  One prime example is relying on GitHub's interface to review changes; git's command line provides the information needed with commands but the UI is just so much nicer.

I recently needed to trace back commits to find a problematic commit between a given date range.  You can use the following git command to list commits between two dates:

$ git log --after="2018-06-30" --before="2018-07-03" --oneline
636c0ff21 Add recordTelemetryEvent() helper to debugger util fixes #6529 (#6571)
94d5e0639 [Telemetry] Fixed telemetry import to point at devtools module using transform-mc.js (#6567)
990c52150 [Editor] get mode from editor (#6563)
2f990aa0e [flow] add types for Editor/index (#6568)
7f92836ba When replaying, fix resume button bug and show pause button when unpaused. (#6582)
1840902f9 [Breakpoint] use PureComponent (#6583)

Especially nice is the --oneline modifier to keep the commit list concise.

I'd guess that 90% of git developers simply branch, commit, and push -- not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's only about 2% of what git is capable of.  Using native tools and not UIs is a badge of honor in our business, so mastering the lessor known commands can speed up development and make you less reliant on outside apps!
