Rebase and reorder

Sometimes when tidying my commits or updating a local branch with remote changes, the order of commits changes - making them out of order in when running git log.

I want the commits in the log to be in the correct sequential order.

If not, it would be confusing if I review the commits in the future.

This is easy to fix when running git rebase -i to perform an interactive rebase on the commits.

The commit has a -x or --exec option that will perform a given command on each commit.

The commit date can be reset using git reset --amend, and combining these commands will amend the date of each commit.

Running git rebase --interactive --exec "git commit --amend --no-edit --date now" will amend and update each commit, keeping the commit message the same, but changing the commit date to the current time - leaving the Git log in the correct order.
