How to protect your privacy by changing your Git commit times
Your Git commit logs provide a good approximation of your habits and time zone: When you sleep, if you are working full time, which projects are private and and which are work-related (weekend vs workday commits), when you go to lunch, etc. By setting the environment variables GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE before committing, you can change the recorded time of a commit. But always setting those variables before committing becomes tedious, so I experimented with a shell function that sets the environment variables for me.
