 Then you can access them via `doc.gitCreatedAt` and `doc.gitUpdatedAt`.
 
+## Nuxt 2
+
+For Nuxt 2 you need to add the module _before_ `@nuxt/content`:
+
+```js
+export default {
+  modules: [
+    'nuxt-content-git',
+    '@nuxt/content',
+  },
+}
+```
+
 ## Deployment
 
 The module uses the Git history to calculate the dates. That is why the history also needs to be checked out when deploying the project to live. During local development the repository is usually deeply cloned. But CI systems like GitHub Actions often only do a shallow clone for performance reasons, which will result in wrong dates.
