I'd like to display *when* a certain annotated tag was created, i.e. its timestamp. I know two ways but am looking for a third one: Gitk: When clicking the yellow tag item (called 'testtag' in my case) it says: ------------- object 9a04a26d3e5ea09be32934f50020d0286ebe7325 type commit tag testtag tagger <tagger's name> <tagger's email-address> 1218568300 +0200 ------------- Well, I can convert 1218568300 into some human readable string, but that's not convenient. So I tried 'git show testtag'. It says: ------------- (*) tag testtag (*) Tagger: <tagger's name> <tagger's email-address> (*) Date: Tue Aug 12 21:17:17 2008 +0200 (*) (*) testtag commit 0a62b3380d21bf65270490619da4a2efd6d2ca7a Author: ... Date: Thu Apr 24 18:49:38 2008 +0200 [...] ------------- ... followed by the whole commit message and diff of the commit that's pointed to by the tag. That's too much for my purpose. Is there a way to output only when and by whom the tag was created (incl. the tag's messsage), i.e. the lines above marked with (*)?
