How does git know who deleted a file?

Question

Using gitlab, after a certain merge request, I found that several files were deleted. Because there are too many branches. I don’t know who deleted this file now. This file no longer exists locally. How to know who deleted it.

Answer 1

Run in the project directory:

git log -- DELETED_FILE_PATH

One thing to note is that you need to add an additional -- parameter

to git log.

Answer 2

git log -p 删除文件名称
