git_time function

Time

The class git_time stores the time a Git object was created.

## S3 method for class 'git_time'
as.character(x, tz = "GMT", origin = "1970-01-01", usetz = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'git_time'
format(x, tz = "GMT", origin = "1970-01-01", usetz = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'git_time'
as.POSIXct(x, tz = "GMT", origin = "1970-01-01", ...)

## S3 method for class 'git_time'
print(x, tz = "GMT", origin = "1970-01-01", usetz = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

• x: object to be converted.

• tz: a character string. The time zone specification to be used for the conversion, if one is required. System-specific (see time zones ), but "" is the current time zone, and "GMT" is UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated). Invalid values are most commonly treated as UTC, on some platforms with a warning.

• origin: a date-time object, or something which can be coerced by as.POSIXct(tz = "GMT") to such an object. Optional since

  4.3.0, where the equivalent of "1970-01-01" is used.

• usetz: logical. Should the time zone abbreviation be appended to the output? This is used in printing times, and more reliable than using "%Z".

• ...: further arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

Details

The default is to use tz = "GMT" and origin = "1970-01-01". To use your local timezone, set tz = Sys.timezone().

Examples

## Not run:

## Initialize a temporary repository
path <- tempfile(pattern="git2r-")
dir.create(path)
repo <- init(path)

## Create a first user and commit a file
config(repo, user.name = "Alice", user.email = "alice@example.org")
writeLines("Hello world!", file.path(path, "example.txt"))
add(repo, "example.txt")
commit(repo, "First commit message")

## Create tag
tag(repo, "Tagname", "Tag message")

as.POSIXct(commits(repo)[[1]]$author$when)
as.POSIXct(tags(repo)[[1]]$tagger$when)
as.POSIXct(tags(repo)[[1]]$tagger$when, tz = Sys.timezone())
## End(Not run)
