Is there a way to set Windows Explorer to display a file's last committed date in the Date Modified field instead of showing the last downloaded date? Or maybe an additional column that does this?

That is not possible.

Custom columns in Windows Explorer were supported until Windows XP, so there is no technical way right now.

  • Thanks for the clarification! When we used TortoiseSVN with Subversion on Windows 7, there was an option to make the Date Modified column change. I think it was called "Set file dates to last 'commit' time". Is this a Subversion feature that isn't possible with Git? – Shannon Kularathna Mar 31 '20 at 14:01
  • No, that's no possible for Git (TortoiseSVN != TortoiseGit). That option in TortoiseSVN touches all files according to the last modification time - it does not change the column. However, there are workaround such as https://stackoverflow.com/q/2179722/3906760 which I did not test. – MrTux Mar 31 '20 at 18:31
