GIT: How to show the changes on specific commit

Type the following to git bash to show all changes:
git show COMMIT_NUMBER

To show difference between a specific file type:
git show COMMIT_NUMBER file_location/file_name

Type following to show file list changed on the commit:
git show COMMIT_NUMBER --name-status

Will output following:
M       location/file_name (Modified)

A       location/file_name (Added New)

Git list all commits for a specific file

Type to git bash:

git log --follow filename

and to quit from list type:

q

Git - fatal: Unable to create '/path/my_project/.git/index.lock': File exists

Execute the command below:

rm -f ./.git/index.lock

If you have no other git processes running (which is the normal case), go ahead and delete that file.

Untrack files from git using git bash

This will start ignoring the changes to the file:
git update-index --assume-unchanged path/to/file 

When you want to start keeping track again: 
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged path/to/file 

Now list files that are ignored: 
git ls-files -v 

And with a search options: 
git ls-files -v | grep "file_name_part"

Php determine if date string is a valid date in that format

Code snippet

function validateDate($date_string)
{
    $date_value = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date_string);
    return $date_value && $date_value->format('Y-m-d') === $date_string;
}

Some examples

var_dump( validateDate('2016-13-10'));   // false
var_dump( validateDate('20160-13-10'));  // false
var_dump( validateDate('2016-11-32'));   // false
var_dump( validateDate('2017-02-29'));   // false

var_dump( validateDate('2016-11-02'));   // true
var_dump( validateDate('1970-12-21'));   // true
var_dump( validateDate('2017-07-29'));   // true
