Use Last Updated at Cloudflare

Issue​

Docusaurus can display the "last updated" value on documentation pages with the configuration item showLastUpdateTime: true.

However, this requires the full git history during the build, and Cloudflare's default build pipeline performs a shallow clone without the necessary git history.

Solution​

To work around this issue, modify the build step at Cloudflare.

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, navigate to Workers & Pages, then open the Pages project.
  2. In the Settings tab, select Builds & deployments.
  3. In the Build configuration section, prepend git fetch --unshallow && to the Build command.
  4. Click Save.

This performs a second fetch with the full history before building the site. The Last Updated value should display correctly after the next deployment.

Example​

Assuming that yarn builds the site, the updated command is:

git fetch --unshallow && yarn build
