Get the last version's date on git

I want to get the last version's date for a project on git... Meaning the date of the last change for projects like:

Im not familiar with git, and after many searches I tried this:

$ git --version
git version 1.8.1.2    
$ git log -1 --format="%ct" http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

The code is inteneded to be executed from php through exec(), and the returned date will be formatted later...

It's not possible for git to connect to a server and check its log. You need to either clone the repo and get the date with git log -1 --format="%ci" or use an API provided by the host, Github has an API not sure about google code but you could parse the site to get the information.

This will show you the latest commit on each branch, so the first in the list is the latest commit for the entire project:

git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate refs/heads/ --format="%(authordate) %(refname)"

It'll be up to you to use PHP to handle the output.
