Something about the way git works suggests to me that Google did not in fact just change the timestamp on the first commit in their repository.

- Strom 5y agoForce push works just fine for changing timestamps.
- samatman 5y agoSomething tells me your model of how git works is completely incorrect.
- cestith 5y agoStep 1: change system clock Step 2: make a commit Step 3: rebase later commits to that commit Step 4: force push to the main branch Step 5: correct system clock Try it. It works.
- TheDong 5y agoI can save you some time: git commit --date "Tue Jul 18 19:05:45 1972 -0500" That format actually works just fine for --date. There's also the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE environment variables.
- cestith 5y agoTIL. I've never needed this, but it could come in handy in the past. Thanks.
