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.
