# Using Commands With A Relative Date Format
|
|
|
|
If you want to know what changed on a branch _since_ last week, you can more or
|
|
less ask just like that:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git log --since="1 week ago"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, what has happened since yesterday:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git log --after="yesterday"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `--since`/`--after` flags, and their counterparts `--until`/`--before`,
|
|
accept a variety of date formats including _relative dates_.
|
|
|
|
Relative dates can be used with other commands and even as a ref modifier. For
|
|
instance, this is a way of comparing `develop` from a week ago with `develop`
|
|
from two weeks ago:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git diff develop@{"1 week ago"} develop@{"2 weeks ago"}
|
|
```
