Git commit date

If you want to see only the date of a tag you'd do:

git show -s --format=%ci <mytagname>^{commit}

which gives: 2013-11-06 13:22:37 +0100

Or do:

git show -s --format=%ct <mytagname>^{commit}

which gives UNIX timestamp: 1383740557

You can use the git show command.

To get the last commit date from git repository in a long(Unix epoch timestamp):

Note: You can visit the git-show documentation to get a more detailed description of the options.

If you like to have the timestamp without the timezone but local timezone do

git log -1 --format=%cd --date=local

Which gives this depending on your location

Mon Sep 28 12:07:37 2015

The show command may be what you want. Try

git show -s --format=%ci <commit>

Other formats for the date string are available as well. Check the manual page for details.
