====== Git: Set Date of Commit ======

the '--date' attribute in commit doesnt set the date that is visible in github, instead the 'GIT_COMMITTER_DATE' has to be set.

<code>
THE_TIME='2019-03-30T8:20:00 -0500' GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=$THE_TIME GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=$THE_TIME git commit -m 'commit message here'
</code>
