Git repo date (Rewrite history)

These codes tested in macOS and Linux both In windows you need regkey | cmd /c /v | or set command to replace export in UNIX terminal

Another things that important are the ENVs : GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE that need to be set before you commit your changes

If you want only change date with not any change at all add --no-edit to your command

export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="Wed Jan 1 14:55:00 2015 +0100"
git commit --amend --date "Wed Jan 1 14:55:00 2015 +0100" -m 'fix committer_date and author_date'
