You can make commits in any date, time using

GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='your date' GIT_COMMITTER_DATE='your date' git commit -m 'message'

The format for 'your date' is like Fri May 01 19:32:10 2015 -0400.

Note that author and committer are different entities in git terminology, and so both the timestamps need to be set (unlike the options provided in other comments and answers).

In general, the author_date is the one that is picked up by github/in git log etc, and the committer_date is visible when you view all the commit information, like in gitk. If altering the author_date alone works, use the --date option as the other answer points.
