TIL: Using git-filter-repo to set commit dates to author dates

10th July 2023

TIL Using git-filter-repo to set commit dates to author dates — After rebasing a branch with 60+ commits onto `main` I was disappointed to see that the commit dates on the commits (which are a different thing from the author dates) had all been reset to the same time. This meant the GitHub default UI for commits implied everything had been written at the same moment.
