# Revision date
[mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin][1] is an extension that shows the
date on which a Markdown file was last updated in _Git_ at the bottom of each
page. The date is extracted at the time of the build, so `mkdocs build` must
be triggered from within a Git repository.
[1]: https://github.com/timvink/mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin
## Installation
Install the plugin using `pip` with the following command:
``` sh
pip install mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin
```
Next, add the following lines to your `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
plugins:
- search
- git-revision-date-localized
```
!!! warning "Remember to re-add the `search` plugin"
If you have no `plugins` entry in your config file yet, you'll likely also
want to add the `search` plugin. MkDocs enables it by default if there is
no `plugins` entry set.
## Usage
The date is automatically added at the bottom of each page, e.g.:
```
Last updated: 9 December, 2019
```
### Changing the language
The date is printed according to the locale which is determined through the
[theme language][2] that was set in `mkdocs.yml`.

### Changing the format
To change the date format, set the `type` parameter to one of `date`,
`datetime`, `iso_date`, `iso_datetime` or `timeago`, i.e.:
``` gnuplot
28 November, 2019 # type: date
28 November, 2019 13:57:28 # type: datetime
2019-11-28 # type: iso_date
2019-11-28 13:57:26 # type: iso_datetime
20 hours ago # type: timeago
```
Example:
``` yaml
plugins:
- git-revision-date-localized:
type: timeago
```
Result:
```
20 hours ago
```
