git-last-modified(1)
====================
NAME
----
git-last-modified - EXPERIMENTAL: Show when files were last modified
SYNOPSIS
--------
[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
------------
