Is it possible to find a specific commit in GitLab?
Asked 4 years ago
GitLab has transformed mine and my team's work experience in the coding world. It has allowed me to stay ahead of my competitors by using a DevOps platform that allows me to deliver software to my clients at a faster rate. I want to use GitLab to find a specific commit. Please can someone show me how to do this?

If you look back 2 years back from now, this feature was not available. However, with numerous customer requests, Gitlab has made it possible to find a specific commit. To search for a specific commit, you must know the commit hash. Use the following steps to get to locate your commit:
- Get to the search-related repository.
- Type or insert the commit hash inside the search box.
- Use this tag to search under the repository “first entry -> ">search-string< in >repository-name<”
- You'll be redirected to the commit if it exists.
