Git Committing Committing at a specific date
Example
git commit -m 'Fix UI bug' --date 2016-07-01
The --date parameter sets the author date.
This date will appear in the standard output of git log, for example.
To force the commit date too:
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2016-07-01 git commit -m 'Fix UI bug' --date 2016-07-01
The date parameter accepts the flexible formats as supported by GNU date, for example:
git commit -m 'Fix UI bug' --date yesterday
git commit -m 'Fix UI bug' --date '3 days ago'
git commit -m 'Fix UI bug' --date '3 hours ago'
When the date doesn't specify time, the current time will be used and only the date will be overridden.
