Default `rebase` behavior preserves author date already - does that work for you? Otherwise, you can use `--committer-date-is-author-date`[1] <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#git-rebase---committer-date-is-author-date> option to set (keep) committer date to that same author date, too. You could also make an alias so you don`t have to type it all out each time you need it. What do others think? > As author and committer dates serve different purposes, I think the current defaults are just fine, while additional options do allow fine-tuning where different behavior is needed. But that is only my opinion, of course :) Still, might be `config` option would be nice, like `rebase.commiterDateIsAuthorDate`, or something, but that would be a topic for main Git mailing list[2] <g...@vger.kernel.org>, as Tim already suggested.
