Allows bulk modification of the commit dates of a repository, changing the history of a repository.
# Creates the demo repository
./git-timeline.bash clone
# Copies the demo repository to the working environment
./git-timeline.bash working
# Exports the history of the git repository to files
./git-timeline.bash history
You can then edit the dates of the three files emitted:
FIRST
- The first commit to the repositoryHISTORY
- The commit historyLATEST
- The most recent commit to the repository
After you have done this, you can then run apply
and show
:
./git-timeline.bash apply
./git-timeline.bash show
If you are finding it difficult to get the right timelines (or just working with the scripts), you can use cycle
to start fresh, and re-apply. This does not alter the modified time files.
