Getting the first commit date with Git
Published on 2024-12-27 • Modified on 2024-12-27
This snippet shows how to get the first commit date of a Git repository. The trick is to use the --reverse flag of the log Git command. It is helpful because GitHub display relative dates like "three weeks ago" which are not precise.
git log --reverse --format="%h %ad %s" --date=short | head -n 5
