Filtering git commits from repository

Question

git log outputs something like this:

commit 6c.................................c1d6
Author: Alice <alice@email.address>
Date:   Wed Feb 5 10:04:05 2014 +0200

    Commit message

commit f8...................................d5719
Author: Bob <bob@email.address>
Date:   Fri Jan 31 00:35:48 2014 +0100

    Commit message

...

How can I get all Alice's commits made in Friday days?

I tried to use grep:

git log | grep "Fri"

But this outputs this:

Date:   Fri Jan 31 00:35:48 2014 +0100

You can get all of Alice's commits with git log --author Alice but there is no built in way to limit the output to certain weekdays.

Try

git log --author Alice --pretty='format:%h %cd' | grep Fri

EDIT: Ok, try this for a complete git-log like output:

git log --author=Alice --pretty='%H %cd' | grep Fri | awk '{ print $1 }' | while read rev; do git show -s --pretty=medium $rev | cat; echo; done
