Hi all,

I have been using GIT for several time and I love it.

I normally do commits when something works or on the end of the day, 
just to record what have doing. On other day, when I consider that is 
done/working I do a rebase -i squashing everything on one commit. The 
date of that commit will be preserved and is the date of the first 
commit. Then I do a git-reset HEAD~1, git-add . and git-commit with the 
same message to have the current date.

A nice functionality was a git-touch that did the commands before.

Best regards and keep the good work,
Luís Sousa

P.S.: While writing this message I realize that is easy to accomplish a 
git-touch doing a bash script, but probably is a good idea to share.

  There is an existing command that does pretty much exactly that:
  git commit --amend.

    But still preserves the original date, isn't it?

      Yes, and I just remembered that, too. Sorry. Today is not my day.
      
      Even so, you can still save one command:
      
        git reset --soft HEAD^
        git commit

        Yeah, but still need some copy&paste of message :)

            Thanks, but still preserves timestamp.

  git rebase -i <...>
  git rebase --ignore-date <...>
  
  should do what you need.
