[SOLVED] Giving a file/directory the same modification date as another

Issue

How do I "copy" the modification date and time from one file/dir to another in Unix-based systems?

Solution

You have some options:

• Use touch -t STAMP -m file if you want to change the time
• Use cp --preserve=timestamps if you're copying the files and want to preserve the time
• Use touch -r to set the time to a "reference" file
