How to find the creator of a folder in GIT?

Question

git

In SVN, using the command:
svn log -r 1:HEAD --limit 1 url_of_requested_folder_in_repo
You can find out when and by whom the folder was created.
Is there a similar command in GIT that allows you to find out: when and by whom a folder was created?

Answer 1

you need to find the first commit for the files in that directory and get its author:

git log --pretty=format:"%an" --reverse path/to/directory | head -1

Answer 2

git log --reverse -- path/to/directory | head -n 10
