Search for commits by SHA1 across projects

It has been requested many times for the ability to find a commit across all of the projects in GitLab given the SHA1 of the commit. The common use case is that for whatever reason one has the SHA1 but no idea with project it represents in GitLab or any other details of the commit.

Finding the commit, or given a partial SHA1 (like the first 3-8 characters) all matching commits across all of the projects.

Even just finding a commit sha in one project would be a good start. I assume this is possible, but I haven’t been able to work out how, and this is the best thing I found on google.

Paste the SHA into the address bar after the “commits” portion of the URL. Example:

https://gitlab.com/project-name/commits/your-sha-here
