Install git-updated using npm:
npm install simple-git-hooks
npm install git-updatedThat's it! git-updated will automatically set up a pre-push Git hook in your repository.
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.
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"
}git-updated is designed to work with any standard Git repository. It requires Node.js to be installed in your environment.
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.
