How to change your last git commit's `CommitDate` and `AuthorDate`

Show the last git commit and confirm it's the one you want to edit:

$ git log -n 1 --pretty=fuller
commit 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (HEAD -> main)
Author:     First Last <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Tue Nov 26 01:01:01 2024 -0800
Commit:     First Last <[email protected]>
CommitDate: Tue Nov 26 01:01:01 2024 -0800

    Example description

Edit the AuthorDate:

$ git commit --amend --date="Mon Nov 25 02:02:02 2024 -0800" --no-edit

Edit the CommitDate to match the AuthorDate:

$ git rebase --committer-date-is-author-date

Confirm the dates have changed:

$ git log -n 1 --pretty=fuller
commit 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (HEAD -> main)
