295fe153ad added mention of ES6 compatibility
Hello, I've added a small blockquote below the description to indicate that this method of accessing an indefinite number of function arguments has been superseded by the use of the spread operator via rest parameters for ES6+ compatibility.

# 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.
