git-last-modified - EXPERIMENTAL: Show when files were last modified
git last-modified [--recursive] [--show-trees] [<revision-range>] [[--] <path>…]
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.
-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.
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.
