Showing the latest changes of each subdirectory in git

Question

In github if you open a repository you will see a page showing the latest commit and time of each subdirectory and file.

Can I do this by command line in git?

Answer 1

Thanks answers from Klas Mellbourn and Nevik Rehnel, finally I combined these two versions into mine:

#!/bin/bash

FILES=`ls -A`
MAXLEN=0
for f in $FILES; do
    if [ ${#f} -gt $MAXLEN ]; then
        MAXLEN=${#f}
    fi
done
for f in $FILES; do
    str=$(git log -1 --format="%cr      [%cn]   %s" $f)
    printf "%-${MAXLEN}s -- %s\n" "$f" "$str"
done

Outputs:
