How to search for a commit in Git?

Question

I want to search for a specific commit in all the branches I have in my repo. Thing is i have probably deleted or renamed the brach but I have the commit number. Can some one write me a git line that i can use to search for a specific commit in all the branches? Thanks

What information are you looking for? What branch the commit is in (git branch --contains <commit>)? The contents of the commit (git show <commit>)? — Joost

If by commit number you mean the sha number then a simple git show <sha_number> will show you the commit content.
