Usage
import { Repository } from '@napi-rs/simple-git'
Repository.init('/path/to/repo') // init a git repository
const repo = new Repository('/path/to/repo') // Open an existed repo
const timestamp = new Date(repo.getFileLatestModifiedDate('build.rs')) // get the latest modified timestamp of a `build.rs`
console.log(timestamp) // 2022-03-13T12:47:47.920Z
const timestampFromAsync = new Date(await repo.getFileLatestModifiedDateAsync('build.rs')) // Async version of `getFileLatestModifiedDate`
console.log(timestamp) // 2022-03-13T12:47:47.920Z

Performance
Compared with the exec function, which gets the file's latest modified date by spawning a child process. Getting the latest modified date from the file 1000 times:
Child process took 1.9s
@napi-rs/simple-git took 65ms
