Install

; make

Files will be installed to /usr/local/bin. If you want to install other place, edit config.mk before running make.

Makefile is compatible with both GNU make and BSD make.

; basher install weakish/git-ci-mtime

Copy git-ci-mtime.sh to $PATH/git-ci-mtime.

git ci-mtime FILE_TO_COMMIT [--more-git-options]

Equivalent git commands:

git add FILE_TO_COMMIT
git commit --date 'mtime of FILE' FILE

You can pass more git options after FILE:

git ci-mtime FILE --gpg-sign -m 'accept any options git commit accepts'

You can commit multiple files:

The auth date will be the mtime of the first file.
Same as above, other files must be passed after FILE.
git ci-mtime * -m 'glob' should work since $SHELL probably will expand * for you (unless you are running your interactive $SHELL with set -f or $SHELL -o noglob).
