I have a repo I just checked out. It's basically a group of folders where each folder is an example illustrating a technique developing on a specific platform.

However, some of the samples are wildly out of date.

Given a location in a repo is there a way to show the last commit date for each item (file or folder) in the location? So if I have repo foo containing folders bar and bar2 I want to see the last commit date for bar and bar2 taking into account everything under them, but I don't want to list everything under them.

  • I suppose it would be a dupe if I thought git log could just give me the top level folder/files that I resided in, but I'm not sure I'm aware of a way. The answer in what you're marking as a dupe does a file filter, which is not what I want. I'd accept an answer using git log that does what I want though. Commented Apr 17, 2014 at 21:56

You can get list of files/directories in particular location using find and then run git log -n1 on each of the items. Something like this will print out last commit's hash and date for each file/directory in ./foo:

find ./foo -maxdepth 1 -print0 | xargs -t -n 1 -0 git log -n 1 --pretty=tformat:"%h %ci" | cat
