It integrates with the MkDocs build pipeline to query git history and uses babel for locale-aware date formatting, plus timeago.js for relative date display (e.g., \"2 days ago\").\n\nThe plugin works out-of-the-box with the mkdocs-material theme, which natively displays the revision date at the bottom of pages. Other themes require manual template customization. A key constraint is that it needs full git history available during the build\u2014shallow clones in CI/CD systems will fail unless configured to fetch the complete history.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use MkDocs with material theme or are willing to customize your theme. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and solves a common documentation need (showing last-modified dates) without manual effort. The main gotcha is ensuring your CI/CD system fetches full git history; once configured, it works reliably."},"id":"mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Mkdocs plugin that enables displaying the localized date of the last git modification of a markdown file."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1634007,"position":3702,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.3"}
