git-redate

Made by Potato Labs

Change the dates of several git commits with a single command.

Installation

For homebrew users, you need to run brew tap PotatoLabs/homebrew-git-redate and then brew install git-redate.

If you're not using homebrew, you can clone this repo and move the git-redate file into any folders in your $PATH. Restart your terminal afterwards and you're good to go!

For window's users, you may paste the file into ${INSTALLATION_PATH}\mingw64\libexec\git-core. Assuming you used the default settings the installation path will be C:\Program Files\Git.

Usage

Simply run: git redate --commits [[number of commits to view]]. You'll have to force push in order for your commit history to be rewritten.

To be able to edit all the commits at once add the --all option: git redate --all

Make sure to run this on a clean working directory otherwise it won't work.

The --commits (a.k.a. -c) argument is optional, and defaults to 5 if not provided.
