I always forget how to back date, so here we go ...

This is dangerous and should be signed off by the omniscience, omnipotence Git him/herself. Rewriting history is evil, in other words.

$ git add <file_name> $ export GIT_COMMITER_DATE="Sun Jun 15 14:00 2014 +0100" $ export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="Sun Jun 15 14:00 2014 +0100" $ git commit -m "so bad" $ git push

GIT_COMMITER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE are environment variables
