| Sep 22, 2016 at 6:24 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | @Clément I think github stores two dates, the one when the commit was made and the one when it was uploaded. See for instance the two sets of dates in github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master. | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 17:07 | comment | added | Clément | Short answer: no, the date of a commit can be easily edited. Cf. stackoverflow.com/q/454734/2657549 | |

You could ask git itself—git help commit—and note the conspicuous [--date=<date>] option in the synopsis… :-)

| Sep 20, 2016 at 17:50 | comment | added | StrongBad | Are you talking about priority for patent law or to "prove" to your colleague/wife/mother that you had the idea first? | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 17:49 | comment | added | StrongBad | @Ian_Fin I asked about priority a while back: academia.stackexchange.com/questions/66052/… | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 17:28 | comment | added | msx | That's exactly what I mean :) | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 17:27 | comment | added | Ian_Fin | What do you mean by priority? That one paper was written before another? | |
