ANN: New Sphinx extension sphinx_last_updated_by_git

[Matthias Geier]

Dear list.

Yesterday, I've created a new little Sphinx extension:
https://github.com/mgeier/sphinx-last-updated-by-git

It does what it says in the name: It gets the "last_updated" time
information (for each source file separately) from the Git repository.

You can install it as usual with "pip":

python3 -m pip install sphinx-last-updated-by-git --user

And of course you'll have to add it to the "extensions" in your conf.py:

extensions = [
'sphinx_last_updated_by_git',
]

Please try it out and let me know what you think!

Sadly, there is already one issue with the sphinx_rtd_theme on
readthedocs.org:

If you find more problems or have suggestions for improvements, please
let me know by opening an issue at
https://github.com/mgeier/sphinx-last-updated-by-git/issues

cheers,
Matthias
