Is there any way to search through github projects in Windows? The Windows application does not seem to have the search functionality. What I am interested in is to search through the commits of a certain github project.

It is pretty easy to search through commits using TortoiseGit. Use 'show log' option to display history of commits and type in what you want to search for.

Another neat trick - to checkout or reset to a commit with a certain bit of text in it: git checkout :/'some text from the commit message' – AlexWebr Aug 8 '12 at 19:08
