git repository browser uses author time instead of commit time for ordering
Added by Leandro Lucarella about 16 years ago.
Updated about 16 years ago.
Description
The git repository browser seems to be ordering commits using the "author" time instead of the "commit" time (git difference authoring and committing). It makes more sense to use the "commit" time (this is how git log and git web and other history viewers arrange patches).
The date displayed by git log command is used.
Eg:
commit 61b685fbe55ab05b5ac68402d5720c1a6ac973d1
Author: jsmith <jsmith@foo.bar>
Date: 2007-12-14 16:15:51 +0100
Where can I find the "commit time" ?
You can use git log --pretty=fuller, for example (a commit with different AuthorDate and CommitDate):
commit c17203c111fde640e620095c1d93b42d460c73e4
Author: Leandro Lucarella <luca@7542.fi.uba.ar>
AuthorDate: Sun Oct 19 20:16:55 2008 -0200
Commit: Leandro Lucarella <luca@7542.fi.uba.ar>
CommitDate: Mon Oct 20 00:35:20 2008 -0200
You can also do git log --pretty=format:"%cd [hash] to get only the commit time of a single commit =)
You can see the man page with git log --help if you need to easily get other commit info, the section called PRETTY FORMATS is the one with all the formatting specification.
Thank you.
