git inspect time at which commit was pushed [duplicate]

Answer 1

Git itself doesn't track this information, but I was able to look at the file creation timestamp on the commit object file in the "objects" directory in the git repository on the server itself.

Answer 2

git does not log when things are pushed into a repository (or fetched for that matter), only the two timestamps on the commits themselves, so I don't think there's a reliable way to do this without writing hooks that would store extra metadata somewhere for you, or relying on logging done by git-daemon, ssh, or your http server, depending on what method is used to push/fetch.

Answer 3

You could either use a hook, probably the post-receive hook to store the required information somewhere yourself, or simply enable the reflog (it is disabled by default in a bare repository). The reflog automatically keeps track of the local history of a branch, and eg. git reflog -1 --format=%H master@{12:00} will tell you what commit was the master ref pointing to at 12:00.

Note that the reflog expires, you can configure the expiration time with gc.reflogexpire.
