Hi  
when I do a dvc pull the files pulled get the current date.

I wonder how to get the date when the files were pushed.

With git I can get this information with _git log my\_file_.  
How to do this kind of information with dvc?

You can track the dates regarding changes on your dvc-tracked files with `git log`, but not `pull`/`push`s. When you `push` something to remote (or anyone who works with your project), it actually don’t adds any field to your file regarding the push date.

The best you can do to obtain this information is checking out the provider’s interface (like if it is s3, you can see the last changed date in the listing section).

For dvc files such as my\_file.dvc sure I can do a git log on the .dvc file.

But we use stages and our dvc.yaml and dvc.lock files may contain several dependencies that could have been pushed at different time points. So the date of those dvc files may not be informative.
