git-time

git-time is a Bash script that allows you to set a custom commit date for Git operations. This can be useful in situations where you need to backdate commits or simulate historical commits.

Usage

1. Make the script executable: chmod +x git-time.sh
2. Run the script with the desired Git command and arguments: ./git-time.sh [git command] [arguments]
3. The script will prompt you to enter a custom commit date using a dialog box.
4. After entering a valid date, the script will execute the specified Git command with the provided arguments, setting the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE environment variables to the custom date.

Example

To commit changes with a custom date, run: ./git-time.sh commit -m "My backdated commit"

Dependencies

• git
• dialog (for the interactive date input dialog)

Notes

• The script checks for invalid date input and prompts the user to correct it.
• The script displays the recent commit history in the dialog box for reference.
• Make sure to have the necessary permissions to execute the script and the required dependencies installed.
