Question

I have a project that is using git and have tagged all the releases with a tag.

$ git tag
v1.0.0
v1.0.1
v1.0.2
v1.0.3
v1.1.0

My goal is to list the releases and release dates in a web interface (tag/commit date = release date). Currently we list all the releases by using git tag.

How can I get the time and date for when the tag was made (or the commit it points to)?

Answer 1

Use the --format argument to git log:

git log -1 --format=%ai MY_TAG_NAME
