Change Time of Commit

I wonder if it’s possible to change the time of a commit.

Here’s the situation, I have a built-in git server with Redmine. When users are going to upload code in the commit gets the local time of the machine that is always wrong, I would like when the file is commited it takes the server time. I use a script to control the repository and actions in Redmine.

Grateful from now on.

git redmine

Use git filter-branch with a filter to change the field you want: GIT_AUTHOR_DATE or GIT_COMMITTER_DATE look like the best options for your case.

If you want to make changes to the 129g9ebd59069c366ab22f1f97d2b648faf932e0 commit, you can do something like this:

git filter-branch --env-filter \
    'if [ $GIT_COMMIT = 129g9ebd59069c366ab22f1f97d2b648faf932e0]
     then
         export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="Fri Jan 2 21:38:53 2009 -0800"
         export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="Sat May 19 01:01:01 2007 -0700"
     fi'

  • Well I would like it to be automatic, every time a commit is made the time and date will be changed, being the same as the server.

    Git allows the creation of "Hooks" on both the Server and Client side to call a script and do some action when important events happen, such as in the case of a commit (on the client) or push (on the server).
