Just a note on your nr1: I don't think rebase back-dates the CommitDate, does it? There are two dates on any commit: AuthorDate and CommitDate. Try git log --format=fuller. E.g.: Author: ... AuthorDate: Wed Aug 2 11:02:03 2017 +0100 Commit: ... CommitDate: Wed Aug 9 12:08:52 2017 +0100 This is a commit I originally created last week, but rebased onto my current branch just now. To change the CommitDate, you have to go filter-branch, afaik. But maybe I'm ignorant of a germane rebase feature?

You're correct, it doesn't change the author date. In order to do no.1; perform your rebase, and then change the dates with filter-branch. I have a couple of helper functions for both for resetting to commit or author dates [1], use at your own risk! :) [1] https://gist.github.com/dm/aad8e34a5ee6b542a0bc788375b548ed https://gist.github.com/dm/aad8e34a5ee6b542a0bc788375b548ed

  Yep, it took me a while to figure out why my commit dates didn't match the dates within GitHub. Luckily, it's fairly straightforward to figure out once you know what the issue is!
