+# Get Latest Commit Timestamp For A File
+
+The `git log` command can tell you all the commits that touched a file. That
+can be narrowed down to the latest commit for that file with the `-1` flag. The
+commit that it reports can then be further formatted to with the `--format`
+flag.
+
+The `%ai` format pattern gives the date the commit was authored in an ISO
+8601-like format. The `%aI` (capital `I`) gives the date the commit was
+authored strictly in the ISO 8601 format.
+
+Here are examples of both side by side:
+
+```bash
+❯ git log -1 --format=%ai -- README.md
+2024-10-15 13:59:09 -0500
+
+❯ git log -1 --format=%aI -- README.md
+2024-10-15T13:59:09-05:00
+```
+
+I made use of this in a script where I needed to get an idea of when various
+files were most recently modified.
+
+See `man git-log` and the `PRETTY FORMATS` section for more details.
