# Objective
The Git Graph list shows the full commit timestamp in its constrained
date column, while the more spacious commit details view only shows the
calendar date. Include the time in the details view so it does not
provide less information than the graph itself.
## Solution
Reuse the existing `format_timestamp` helper from the Git Graph `Date`
column when rendering the selected commit details. This gives both views
the same local date and time format without a separate formatting path.
## Testing
- `cargo check -p git_ui`

Release Notes:

timestamp as the `Date` column.
