I need to find a commit in Git by a given hash, SHA. For example, if I have the "a2c25061" hash, and I need to get the author and the committer of this commit.
What is the command to get that?

We can obtain the hash using rev-parse . We can add the --verify flag to rev-parse to ensure that the specified object is a valid git object. It's especially help to use it --verify with a variable branch name. To obtain the shortened version of the hash, we can use the --short flag.
The commit hash is an SHA-1 hash made up of a few properties from the commit itself. As mentioned above, it is a lot more complex than this post can go into, but understanding the fundamentals is a great first step. The git hash is made up of the following: The commit message. The file changes.
`git log` command is used to view the commit history and display the necessary information of the git repository. This command displays the latest git commits information in chronological order, and the last commit will be displayed first.
To search for a hash, just enter at least the first 7 characters in the search box. Then on the results page, click the "Commits" tab to see matching commits (but only on the default branch, usually master ), or the "Issues" tab to see pull requests containing the commit.
Just use the following command
git show a2c25061 
git log -1 --format="%an %ae%n%cn %ce" a2c25061 The Pretty Formats section of the git show documentation contains
format:<string>The
format:<string>format allows you to specify which information you want to show. It works a little bit like printf format, with the notable exception that you get a newline with%ninstead of\n…The placeholders are:
%an: author name%ae: author email%cn: committer name%ce: committer email
