The command dolt commit --date "${2021-12-31T00:00:00}" is used to create a new commit in a Dolt repository with a specific date.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • dolt: This is the command-line tool used to interact with Dolt repositories. Dolt is a version-controlled SQL database.
  • commit: This is a subcommand used to create a new commit in the Dolt repository.
  • --date: This flag is used to specify the date for the new commit.
  • "${2021-12-31T00:00:00}": This is the date value provided for the --date flag. The format of the date is in ISO 8601, which represents the year, month, day, and time in 24-hour format.

By using this command, a new commit will be created in the Dolt repository with the specified date. The commit will include any changes to the data within the repository made before this command is executed.
