1DATE FORMATS
2------------
3
4The `GIT_AUTHOR_DATE` and `GIT_COMMITTER_DATE` environment variables
5support the following date formats:
6
7Git internal format::
8 It is `<unix-timestamp> <time-zone-offset>`, where
9 `<unix-timestamp>` is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch.
10 `<time-zone-offset>` is a positive or negative offset from UTC.
11 For example CET (which is 1 hour ahead of UTC) is `+0100`.
12
13RFC 2822::
14 The standard date format as described by RFC 2822, for example
15 `Thu, 07 Apr 2005 22:13:13 +0200`.
16
17ISO 8601::
18 Time and date specified by the ISO 8601 standard, for example
19 `2005-04-07T22:13:13`. The parser accepts a space instead of the
20 `T` character as well. Fractional parts of a second will be ignored,
21 for example `2005-04-07T22:13:13.019` will be treated as
22 `2005-04-07T22:13:13`.

24NOTE: In addition, the date part is accepted in the following formats:
25`YYYY.MM.DD`, `MM/DD/YYYY` and `DD.MM.YYYY`.

28In addition to recognizing all date formats above, the `--date` option
29will also try to make sense of other, more human-centric date formats,
30such as relative dates like "yesterday" or "last Friday at noon".
