Getting the time when the file was committed on Github

I want to somehow want to see if there is a way to get the time for when a file was committed on Github. I have tried using PyGithub and GitPython, but they don't have any options as such. Does anyone know a way around this?

you can check the hour in the log

so do git log to check all commits hours.

but if you want an specific file, you should use the flag --follow

so try this:

git log --follow filename

another aproach

if you want just to check the date of an specific commit use this command

git show -s --format=%ci <commit>

Pythonic way

import git 
g = git.Git("/path/to/your/repo") 
loginfo = g.log()
print loginfo

or

import git 
g = git.Git("/path/to/your/repo") 
loginfo = g.log('--format=%ci <commit>')
print loginfo
