If you move your mouse over the `xx minutes|hours\... ago` label, a tooltip will be displayed showing the UTC time the commit was created at.

Keep in mind that Git history can be rewritten (see **[git commit --amend](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit)** or **[git filter-branch](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch)** commands for instance) and that this displayed time shouldn&#39;t  be considered as solid proof.

Well I&#39;m jumping into this WAAAYY late, but I wanted to add a note about this particular use case.

[nulltoken][1] is absolutely right about the possibility of the times being modified. To circumvent this, I would make use of tags. Slap together a simple script that would pull the branch at the cutoff point, tag it (using an annotated tag), and then push the tag up to github. This gives you a snapshot of the branch at that particular time, stamped the time that the tag was cut AND the name of the tagger. That last part is particularly useful for students who think they are crafty.

Following what we commented in [How to close sqlalchemy connection in MySQL][1], I am checking the connections that SQLAlchemy creates into my database and I cannot manage to close them without exiting from Python.

If I run this code in a python console, it keeps the session opened until I exit from python:

    from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
    from models import OneTable, get_engine
    
    engine = get_engine(database=&quot;mydb&quot;)
    session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)()
    
    results = session.query(OneTable.company_name).all()

    # some work with the data #

    session.close()

and the only workaround I found to close it is to call `engine.dispose()` at the end.

As per the comments in the link I gave above, my question are now:

- Why is `engine.dispose()` necessary to close sessions?
- Doesn&#39;t `session.close()` suffice?

I&#39;m using github for students to submit a programming assignment. And I have a strict deadline for submission and I would like to be able to check the time that their release was submitted.

Unfortunately, github only reports how many *days ago* a release or commit was made. Is there any (quick) way to get the exact time?

I'm using github for students to submit a programming assignment. And I have a strict deadline for submission and I would like to be able to check the time that their release was submitted.
Unfortunately, github only reports how many days ago a release or commit was made. Is there any (quick) way to get the exact time?

I&#39;m adding [Releases](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases) to my projects on GitHub by adding tags to various commits in the Main branch. 

In one of my projects I did not add the tags to the commits in chronological order. (I found obvious commits and tagged them, and then I found less obvious, _older_ commits and tagged them.)

Now [GitHub is showing](https://github.com/Phrogz/docubot/releases) v1.0.1 as current, with v0.7.0 preceding it, and v1.1.2 preceding _that_. 

It appears to use the date on a tag&#39;s creation as the Release date instead of the commit that is being tagged. How can I edit my tags so that their dates are the same as the commit they are tagging?

I am trying to implement ActionBar-PullToRefresh from https://github.com/chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh/wiki/QuickStart-ABC. I just made the switch from Eclipse to Android-Studio so I am totally new to AS and Gradle.

chrisbanes writes on the site: 

&gt; The easiest way to add ActionBar-PullToRefresh to your project is via
&gt; Gradle, you just need to add the following dependency to your
&gt; build.gradle:

    dependencies {  
        mavenCentral()
        compile &#39;com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:extra-abc:+&#39;
    }

Does this mean that I don&#39;t have to download the library and Gradle takes care of it so that I always have the latest version? I just don&#39;t know where to put the above line. I have two gradle.build files one in my root that looks like:

    // Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
    buildscript {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
        }
        dependencies {
            classpath &#39;com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+&#39;
        }
    }

and the one in my project which looks like:

    apply plugin: &#39;android&#39;
    
    dependencies {
        compile fileTree(dir: &#39;libs&#39;, include: &#39;*.jar&#39;)
        compile &#39;com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+&#39;
        compile &#39;com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+&#39;
    }
    
    android {
        compileSdkVersion 19
        buildToolsVersion &quot;19.0.1&quot;
    
        sourceSets {
            main {
                manifest.srcFile &#39;AndroidManifest.xml&#39;
                java.srcDirs = [&#39;src&#39;]
                resources.srcDirs = [&#39;src&#39;]
                aidl.srcDirs = [&#39;src&#39;]
                renderscript.srcDirs = [&#39;src&#39;]
                res.srcDirs = [&#39;res&#39;]
                assets.srcDirs = [&#39;assets&#39;]
            }
    
            // Move the tests to tests/java, tests/res, etc...
            instrumentTest.setRoot(&#39;tests&#39;)
    
            // Move the build types to build-types/&lt;type&gt;
            // For instance, build-types/debug/java, build-types/debug/AndroidManifest.xml, ...
            // This moves them out of them default location under src/&lt;type&gt;/... which would
            // conflict with src/ being used by the main source set.
            // Adding new build types or product flavors should be accompanied
            // by a similar customization.
            debug.setRoot(&#39;build-types/debug&#39;)
            release.setRoot(&#39;build-types/release&#39;)
        }
    }

Do I have to add a repository somewhere?

Add github library as dependency to Android-Studio project

I would like to get a single commit (let&#39;s call it `${SHA}`) from GitHub via the web-interface.

For example, something like:

    $ git clone http://github.com/foo/bar
    $ cd bar
    $ git format-patch -o .. ${SHA}~1..${SHA}
    $ cd ..
    $ rm -rf bar

...but without having to clone the entire repository (the repo in question is large).

Obviously GitHub can display the diff of a given commit via the web interface, but how I can extract that into a (unified) diff-file (ideally, with the commit-message intact)?
