# How to change a commit timestamp

You may need to change the datetime of a commit in some situations. For example, some countries use daylight saving time period and because of it, some commits can have the wrong timestamp.

```bash
git commit --amend --date "Thu Feb 15 22:37:31 2018 +0300"
```

You should commit and then you can change the timestamp later.
