This will depend on the size of your Git history. 24 {{% /note %}} 25 26 ## `.GitInfo` Prerequisites 27 28 1. The Hugo site must be in a Git-enabled directory. 29 2. The Git executable must be installed and in your system `PATH`. 30 3. The `.GitInfo` feature must be enabled in your Hugo project by passing `--enableGitInfo` flag on the command line or by setting `enableGitInfo` to `true` in your [site's configuration file][configuration]. 31 32 ## The `.GitInfo` Object 33 34 The `GitInfo` object contains the following fields: 35 36 .AbbreviatedHash 37 : the abbreviated commit hash (e.g., `866cbcc`) 38 39 .AuthorName 40 : the author's name, respecting `.mailmap` 41 42 .AuthorEmail 43 : the author's email address, respecting `.mailmap` 44 45 .AuthorDate 46 : the author date 47 48 .Hash 49 : the commit hash (e.g., `866cbccdab588b9908887ffd3b4f2667e94090c3`) 50 51 .Subject 52 : commit message subject (e.g., `tpl: Add custom index function`) 53 54 ## `.Lastmod` 55 56 If the `.GitInfo` feature is enabled, **and** if the `lastmod` field in the content's front matter is not set, `.Lastmod` (on `Page`) is fetched from Git i.e. `.GitInfo.AuthorDate`. 57 58 [configuration]: /getting-started/configuration/
