How to Fix: Update git commit author date when amending
Update git commit author date when amending
When amending a Git commit, the original author date is not updated automatically. This can be frustrating if you're trying to maintain a consistent commit history or if you want to make it clear who made changes to your code.
✅ Best Solution
Method: Use the `--amend-author` Option
- Step 1: Run `git commit --amend --author=
` in your terminal, replacing ` ` with the email address you used when creating the original commit.
Alternatively, if you want to update the author date for all amended commits, you can use `git filter-repo` to rewrite the commit history. This method requires more setup and configuration but provides more flexibility.
