git-last-modified(1) ====================

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

SYNOPSIS --------

git last-modified [--recursive] [--show-trees] [--max-depth=<depth>] [-z] [<revision-range>] [[--] <pathspec>…]

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
Recursively traverse into all subtrees. By default, the command only shows tree entries matching the <pathspec>. With this option, it descends into subtrees and displays all entries within them. Equivalent to --max-depth=-1.

-t

--show-trees
Show tree entries even when recursing into them.

--max-depth=<depth>
For each pathspec given on the command line, traverse at most <depth> levels into subtrees. A negative value means no limit. The default is 0, which shows all paths matching the pathspec without descending into subtrees.

-z
Terminate each line with a NUL character rather than a newline.

<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 linkgit:gitrevisions[7].

[--] <pathspec>…
Show the commit that last modified each path matching <pathspec>. If no <pathspec> is given, all files and subdirectories are included. See linkgit:gitglossary[7] for details on pathspec syntax.

OUTPUT ------

The output is in the format:

 <oid> TAB <path> LF

If a path contains any special characters, the path is C-style quoted. To avoid quoting, pass option -z to terminate each line with a NUL.

 <oid> TAB <path> NUL
