MkDocs plugin that enables displaying the date of the last git modification of a page. The plugin uses babel and timeago.js to provide different localized date formats. Initial fork from mkdocs-git-revision-date-plugin.

(Example when used together with the mkdocs-material theme)

Other MkDocs plugins that use information from git:

• mkdocs-git-authors-plugin for displaying the authors from git
• mkdocs-git-committers-plugin for displaying authors' github user profiles

Install the plugin using pip3 with the following command:

pip3 install mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin

Next, add the following lines to your mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - search
  - git-revision-date-localized

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.

If you use the mkdocs-material theme, you should already see the last revision on the bottom of your pages.

This plugin needs access to the last commit that touched a specific file to be able to retrieve the date. By default many build environments only retrieve the last commit, which means you might need to:
