title: Git (GitHub) commit at past date
body: <p>I am working on a git project (hosted on GitHub) and using GitHub for Windows. Yesterday, I got a lot accomplished but GitHub for Windows bailed on me (says it cannot make a commit) and I was not able to commit.</p>
  
  <p>I do not want to lose my GitHub commit streak, so I was wondering if there was any way to commit in a past date and sync with my GitHub (if this is possible).</p>
  
  <p>Also: I have staged my commits in the git-bash but have not committed yet.</p>
