git: timezone and timestamp format

Question

From git I can get the timestamp:

\"2011-10-04 12:58:36 -0600\"

but is there any way to show it as:

\"2011-10-04 06:58:36\"         


        

Answer 1

If you want to display the git date in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format:

DATE=$(git log -n 1 --pretty=format:"%ad" --date=iso)
echo "Date: ${DATE::20}"
