Hi
I don't know a specific command for the age. But `git cat-file commit
HEAD`, will give you the commit's timestamps in seconds from the the
epoch. (Plus some timezone info).
I can construct a bash script, shown below (warning: only had the most
rudimentary testing), which turns that into an age. For your use case
you might be better getting yesterdays unix-timestamp from date, if GNU
date is available, and directly comparing it to the commit timestamp.
------
#!/bin/bash
now=$(date +"%s")
commit=$(git cat-file commit HEAD | grep committer)
commit=${commit##*>}
commit=${commit%%+*}
echo $(( $now-$commit ))
