Is it possible to search for a commit hash in gitk?

Question

By default, the commit search window in gitk searches in different commit fields, but does not include a hash. This makes it difficult to find a specific commit, especially if you only have a shortened hash.

Are there any workarounds for this problem?

Answer 1

You can enter a hash (abbreviation) in the field to the right under the list of commits, and then click the "Go" button to the left of the field.

Answer 2

You can start gitk with the sha command as an argument:

gitk abc123
