Search git reflog

Question

I create a new branch when a new issue pops up. These branches are named starting issu. After merging with master these branches are deleted. I wanted to get a list of all such branches. I was able to get it using git reflog

>git reflog
55e8b45 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) HEAD@{0}: merge issu4-HasScript-and-HasFormat-checkbox-toggle: Fast-forward
7caf2c6 HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from issu4-HasScript-and-HasFormat-checkbox-toggle to master
55e8b45 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) HEAD@{2}: commit (amend): Column validation including Has-Script and Has-Format
490a29a HEAD@{3}: commit: Column validatio inclnsuding Has Script and Has Format
7caf2c6 HEAD@{4}: checkout: moving from master to issu4-HasScript-and-HasFormat-checkbox-toggle
7caf2c6 HEAD@{5}: merge issu3-make-SFTPFingerprint-required: Fast-forward
fbad7cd HEAD@{6}: checkout: moving from issu3-make-SFTPFingerprint-required to master
...

Is there any way to filter these entries to get all merges starting with issu.

I am trying to get all deleted branches that were merged into the master and started with issu. Other solutions that get these are also fine.

I searched a lot and could not find a solution.

Update:

I am using windows. The solution that i currently have is

git reflog | findstr /c:"merge issu"

Is there any solution in git itself?

You can use this command,

git reflog --grep-reflog=<pattern>

In your case it would be, git reflog --grep-reflog="merge issu"
