Extract all code committed by a certian author in Git

Question

How to extract all the code committed by a certain author to a text file in Git?

If there is a repository and I want to have all code of a certain committer over the history of the repo from its start from its master branch in one text file.

Try to use git log --author="Jon" and it will show the commit message and the date of all the commits of him but without the code itself, I need this information along with the code to be outputted in one text file. I hope this made what I want clear.

It's not clear what you're asking for. What do you mean by "extract all code"? Also, do you mean over the entire history of the project, the latest version of a file, or something else? — John Szakmeister, Sep 28 '13 at 08:06

You can use git log -p --author="John", and that will give you the path representing what code has been modified.

For getting all the patches in one file, see "git diff with author filter".
