Set Specific Access and Modification Time
You can also set a file's access and modification time to a specific date by using the t option followed by a date-time. It would look like this:
touch -t 202203081047.30 file_name.txt
Make sure to check whether the date changed with the following command:
ls -lu file_name.txt
Remember that the date-time format must follow the CCYYMMDDhhmm.ss style:
- CC – the first two digits of the year
- YY – the second two digits of the year
- MM – the month of the year (01-12)
- DD – the day of the month (01-31)
- hh – the hour of the day (00-23)
- mm – the minute of the hour (00-59)
- ss – the second of the minute (00-59)
