Finding the date/time a file was first added to a Git repository
git
Solution
`git log --follow --format=%ad --date default <FILE> | tail -1`
With this command you can out all date about this file and extract the last
The option `%ad` shows the date in the format specified by the --date setting, one of `relative`, `local`, `iso`, `iso-strict`, `rfc`, `short`, `raw`, `human`, `unix`, `format:<strftime-string>`, `default`.
Problem
Is there a simple Git command to determine the "creation date" of a file in a repository, i.e. the date it was first added? It would be best if it can determine this even through file renames/moves. I'd like it to be a computer-readable one-line output; it may be that I haven't figured out the correct `git log <fname>` options to do this.
