On other day, when I consider that is \ndone/working I do a rebase -i squashing everything on one commit. The \ndate of that commit will be preserved and is the date of the first \ncommit. Then I do a git-reset HEAD~1, git-add . and git-commit with the \nsame message to have the current date.\n\nA nice functionality was a git-touch that did the commands before.\n\nBest regards and keep the good work,\nLuís Sousa\n\nP.S.: While writing this message I realize that is easy to accomplish a \ngit-touch doing a bash script, but probably is a good idea to share.\n"},{"id":"127457","messageId":"20091112180132.5819f963@perceptron","threadId":"21592","inReplyTo":"4AFC348B.4000202@ualg.pt","subject":"Re: Idea for git-touch","fromName":"Jan Krüger","fromEmail":"jk@jk.gs","sentAt":"2009-11-12T17:01:32Z","receivedAt":"2009-11-12T17:01:32Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jk@jk.gs","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1774?v=4"},"body":"Hi Luís,\n\n> [...] Then I do a git-reset HEAD~1, git-add . and git-commit with\n> the same message to have the current date.\n\nThere is an existing command that does pretty much exactly that:\ngit commit --amend.\n\nJan\n"},{"id":"127459","messageId":"4AFC4051.5030607@ualg.pt","threadId":"21592","inReplyTo":"20091112180132.5819f963@perceptron","subject":"Re: Idea for git-touch","fromName":"Luís Sousa","fromEmail":"llsousa@ualg.pt","sentAt":"2009-11-12T17:05:21Z","receivedAt":"2009-11-12T17:05:21Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"llsousa@ualg.pt","avatar":null},"body":"But still preserves the original date, isn't it?\n\nJan Krüger wrote:\n> Hi Luís,\n>\n> \n>> [...] Then I do a git-reset HEAD~1, git-add . and git-commit with\n>> the same message to have the current date.\n>> \n>\n> There is an existing command that does pretty much exactly that:\n> git commit --amend.\n>\n> Jan\n>\n>\n> \n"},{"id":"127460","messageId":"20091112180841.001ae651@perceptron","threadId":"21592","inReplyTo":"4AFC4051.5030607@ualg.pt","subject":"Re: Idea for git-touch","fromName":"Jan Krüger","fromEmail":"jk@jk.gs","sentAt":"2009-11-12T17:08:41Z","receivedAt":"2009-11-12T17:08:41Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jk@jk.gs","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1774?v=4"},"body":"On Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:05:21 +0000, Luís Sousa wrote:\n> But still preserves the original date, isn't it?\n\nYes, and I just remembered that, too.
