I would like to know if I can show changes in a project directory for a certain time period. Lets say show only changes made today?

Is there way to do that from command line with Git?

command git

It is not possible to show the date/time of changes with Git if they were not committed. For commits, you can use the following arguments of git log:

  • --since=<date> / --after=<date> to show commits more recent than a specific date
  • --until=<date> / --before=<date> to show commits older than a specific date

Examples:

git log --after="2021-05-02"
git log --since="2021-06-12" --before="2021-06-22"
git log --after="2021-03-16T18:05:00+02:00"         # ISO 8601
git log --before="2021-03-16T13:12:05Z"             # ISO 8601
git log --since="3 month ago"
git log --since="2 weeks 5 days ago"

I don't think git status has a way of doing that, but you can use git log instead:

git log --since="9am"
