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

Usage

# 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

R 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 R 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().
