Download and install nvm:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.4/install.sh | bash

in lieu of restarting the shell

. "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"

Download and install Node.js:

nvm install 24

Verify the Node.js version:

node -v # Should print "v24.14.0".

npm sürümünüzü doğrulayın:

npm -v # Şunu yazdırmalı "11.9.0".

I agree this would be very useful on mobile.

Right now mobile only shows relative times like “updated recently” or “2h ago”, which makes it difficult to understand the exact sequence of events in active issues or pull requests.

Some situations where a precise timestamp would help:

• Reviewing PR discussions where multiple comments or pushes happen close together
• Tracking when a review or commit update actually occurred
• Debugging workflows where timing between comments, pushes, and checks matters
• Comparing activity across different time zones

On desktop GitHub shows the full datetime when hovering over timestamps, but mobile currently lacks an equivalent interaction.

Even something simple like tapping the relative timestamp to reveal the exact datetime would solve this while keeping the UI clean.

Hi, thanks for agreeing.

But as you can see in my screenshot, not even the relative time is showing.

Maybe you are using iOS and I'm using Android.

However, I agree with your suggestion.
