+= Search changes to a filename pattern in Git history

+
+This is {yet}[yet] {another}[another] {entry}["search in Git"] TIL entry.  You
+could say that Git has a unintuitive CLI, or that is it very powerful.
+
+I wanted to search for an old file that I new that was in the history of the
+repository, but was deleted some time ago.  So I didn't really remember the
+name, only bits of it.
+
+I immediately went to the list of TILs I had written on searching in Git, but it
+wasn't readily obvious how to do it, so here it goes:
+
+[source,sh]
+----
+git log -- *pattern*
+----
+
+You could add globs before the pattern to match things on any directory, and add
+our `-p` friend to promptly see the diffs:
+
+[source,sh]
+----
+git log -p -- **/*pattern*
+----
