Hi @EricHardins 👋

You can’t delete a commit date in Git, but you can change it by rewriting the commit history.
Here’s how to do it safely:

🕒 Change the Most Recent Commit Date

GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="2024-10-10 12:00:00" git commit --amend --no-edit --date "2024-10-10 12:00:00"

This command updates both the author and committer dates of your last commit.

🧩 Change an Older Commit’s Date

If you need to edit an older commit:

git rebase -i HEAD~n

(Replace n with the number of commits you want to go back.)
Then mark the commit as edit, and once it stops at that commit, run the same amend command above.
Finally, run:

git rebase --continue

⚠️ Note: This rewrites history — so if you’ve already pushed these commits to GitHub, use

git push --force

carefully, as it will override remote history.
