Some time you don't want everyone to know exactly when you committed.
This command will wipe the time stamps and set them all to today at 0:00h.

```
git filter-branch --env-filter '
  GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="$(date +%Y-%m-%d) 00:00:00+0000"
  GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$(date +%Y-%m-%d) 00:00:00+0000"
  ' -- --all
```

It works best on fresh repos just be for pushing to remote for the first timee.
