How to see commits made by a specific user in GitHub Desktop: 


To check the commits made by a specific user in GitHub Desktop, follow these steps:

  1. Open GitHub Desktop and navigate to the repository you want to check.

  2. Click on the "History" tab in the left sidebar.

  3. Find the user's commits: You can see the list of commits made by different users. Look for the user whose commits you want to review.

  4. Click on a commit to see the details, including the commit message, date, and the changes made in that commit.

If you want to see all commits made by a specific user, you can use the command line integrated within GitHub Desktop:

  1. Open the command line from GitHub Desktop by going to the menu bar, selecting Repository, and clicking Open in command line.

  2. Use the git log command with the --author flag to filter commits by a specific user. For example:

    sh
    git log --author="User Name"
    

    Replace "User Name" with the name or email of the user whose commits you want to see.

This will display the commit history for that specific use
