Git: Show last commit date and message for each file in directory like Github [duplicate]

Question

In Github, when browsing a directory using the web interface, one can see when each file and subdirectory was last committed in addition to its commit message.

How would you do the same thing using the git command line interface?

Answer 1

Ok, I modified this answer a bit to produce a nicer format. Here's the result in ZSH

And here's the script

#!/bin/sh

FILES="$(git ls-tree --name-only HEAD .)"
MAXLEN=0
IFS="$(printf "\n\b")"
for f in $FILES; do
    if [ ${#f} -gt $MAXLEN ]; then
        MAXLEN=${#f}
    fi
done
for f in $FILES; do
    str="$(git log -1 --pretty=format:"%C(green)%cr%Creset %x09 %C(cyan)%h%Creset %s %C(yellow)(%cn)%Creset" $f)"
    printf "%-${MAXLEN}s -- %s\n" "$f" "$str"
done
