I need to make some commits using Git but I would like the timestamp in git-log to be in the future.

How can I do a commit in git that causes a future timestamp to register in the git-log?

  1. You should wait a bit.

    Or you can do this:

    /tmp/x 604% env GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='Wed Dec 19 15:14:05 2029 -0800' git commit -m 'future!' [master]: created 6348548: 'Future!'  1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)  /tmp/x 605% git log   Author: Dustin Sallings <dustin@spy.net> Date:   Wed Dec 19 15:14:05 2029 -0800      Future!

    Note that there’s both an author date and a committer date, so be sure to set the right one (or both).
