## NAME

`git-utimes` - Change files modification time to their last commit date

## SYNOPSIS

`git-utimes` [--newer]

## DESCRIPTION

Change files modification time to their last commit date. Does not touch files that are in the working tree or index.

## OPTIONS

--newer

Preserves the original modification time of files that were committed from the local repo, by only touching files that are newer than their last commit date.

## EXAMPLES

Update all files' modification time to their last commit date, except those in working tree or index:

    $ git utimes

As above, but preserve original modification time of files that were committed from local repo:

    $ git utimes --newer
