Git commit date

Other than parsing git log for the date string, is there a Git native way to report the date of a certain commit?开发者_运维技巧

The show command may be what you want. Try

git show -s --format=%ci <commit>

Other formats for the date string are available as well. Check the manual page for details.

If you want to see only the date of a tag you'd do:

git show -s --format=%ci <mytagname>^{commit}

which gives: 2013-11-06 13:22:37 +0100

Or do:

git show -s --format=%ct <mytagname>^{commit}

which gives UNIX timestamp: 1383740557

If you like to have the timestamp without the timezone but local timezone do

git log -1 --format=%cd --date=local

Which gives this depending on your location

Mon Sep 28 12:07:37 2015

You can use the git show command.

To get the last commit date from git repository in a long(Unix epoch timestamp):

• Command: git show -s --format=%ct
• Result: 1605103148

Note: You can visit the git-show documentation to get a more detailed description of the options.

In case that you want to format the date (or hour) by yourself:

git show -s --date=format:'%Y%m%d-%H%M' --format=%cd  <commit id | default is the last commit>

# example output:
20210712-1948

if you got troubles with windows cmd command and .bat just escape percents like that

git show -s --format=%%ct

The % character has a special meaning for command line parameters and FOR parameters. To treat a percent as a regular character, double it: %%

I know the question was asked a long time ago and I don't know which version of git this was.

For git version 2.37.3 the command

git show -s

will show the author date, not the commit date. To get the commit date of a commit use

git log -1 --format=fuller 'commit hash'
