GIT-LAST-MODIFIED(1) Git Manual GIT-LAST-MODIFIED(1)

NAME

git-last-modified - EXPERIMENTAL: Show when files were last modified

SYNOPSIS

git last-modified [--recursive] [--show-trees] [<revision-range>] [[--] <path>...]

DESCRIPTION

Shows which commit last modified each of the relevant files and
subdirectories. A commit renaming a path, or changing it's mode is
also taken into account.

THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.

OPTIONS

-r, --recursive
Instead of showing tree entries, step into subtrees and show all
entries inside them recursively.

-t, --show-trees
Show tree entries even when recursing into them. It has no effect
without --recursive.

<revision-range>
Only traverse commits in the specified revision range. When no
<revision-range> is specified, it defaults to HEAD (i.e. the
whole history leading to the current commit). For a complete list
of ways to spell <revision-range>, see the Specifying Ranges
section of gitrevisions(7).

[--] <path>...
For each <path> given, the commit which last modified it is
returned. Without an optional path parameter, all files and
subdirectories in path traversal the are included in the output.
