How to find out in which commit a particular code was added?

Question

I want to find out in which commit did I add the code given below:

if (getListView().getChildCount() == 0)
                getActivity().findViewById(androi         


        

Answer 1

git log -S "mention here line of code" [file-path]    

For example:

git log -S "First line" test.txt         

Providing the file name with its path is obvious because, most of the time, we want to know who introduced a particular code segment in a particular file.
