git command to show all (lightweight) tags creation dates
I found in this link a solution that fits my needs:
git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration --pretty="format:%ai %d"
I've put that command in an alias in my ~/.alias
, so now everytime I run gitshowtagbydate
I get what I needed.
You cannot
Lightweight (non-annotated) tags do only point to another object (like a commit, which has a date). See the one of the other answers to print these (creatordate
).
Annotated tags do carry a date, an author and a message. The one of the other answers to print these (taggerdate
).
The git tag -l
shows a list of all tags. The --format
argument can be used to define a custom output. For example:
git tag -l --format='%(refname) %(taggerdate)'
Update, based on the comments below:
git tag -l --sort=-creatordate --format='%(creatordate:short): %(refname:short)'
