About

git-updated is a Node.js module that automatically updates a JSON file with the last modified dates of files in your Git repository. This tool is designed to run as a Git pre-push hook, ensuring your file modification records are always up-to-date with your latest commits.

Features

Automatic Tracking: Automatically track the last modified dates of all files in your Git repository.
Zero Configuration: Install the package, and you're all set – no additional setup required.
Non-Intrusive: Works seamlessly with your existing Git workflow.

Installation

Install git-updated using npm:

npm install simple-git-hooks
npm install git-updated

That's it! git-updated will automatically set up a pre-push Git hook in your repository.

How It Works

Once installed, git-updated adds a pre-push hook to your Git repository. Before each push, it generates or updates a .git-updated/file_dates.json file in your repository root. This file contains a JSON object mapping each file in your repository to its last modified date, based on your Git commit history.

Structure of the JSON File

The file_dates.json file has the following structure:

{
    "src/index.js": "2023-12-09 07:37:33",
    "src/utils.js": "2023-12-09 07:37:33",
    "README.md": "2023-12-09 07:37:33",
    "package.json": "2023-12-09 07:37:33"
}

Compatibility

git-updated is designed to work with any standard Git repository. It requires Node.js to be installed in your environment.

Customization

While git-updated is designed to work out of the box with no configuration, you can customize the behavior by editing the .husky/pre-push file in your project.
