That's great news!

Unfortunately, the "@" in the --date argument is necessary for it to
work correctly when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is specified:

  $ date -u "+%F %R:%S %Z" --date=1412583777
  date: invalid date ‘1412583777’
  $ date -u "+%F %R:%S %Z" --date=@1412583777
  2014-10-06 08:22:57 UTC
  $ date -u "+%F %R:%S %Z" --date=
  2017-12-06 00:00:00 UTC

At least, that's how it works on my Debian system...

+##  FILE:  .bashrc-amendments, also named dot-bashrc-amendments.sh
+##
+##
+##  LAST TOUCHED:  2017-12-14 THU
+##
+##
+##  DESCRIPTION:  short script to amend Debian and Ubuntu and or
+##    Bourne shell run-time config file, normally named '.bashrc'.
+##    Adds directory book-marking for up to thirty directories -- or
+##    file system paths -- making these accessible by means of
+##    three- and four- character aliases of the form 'gdnn' where
+##    nn is an integer in the range 1 to 30.
+##
+##
+##  HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT:
+##
+##    To enjoy directory bookmark aliases in this file, in a bash
+##    command line environment, the user may source this file by
+##    hand,
+##
+##    $ . dot-bashrc-amendments.sh
+##
+##    or alternately for convenience a given user may amend their
+##    .login or .bashrc start-up script to include a line which
+##    does the same sourcing of this file.
+##

+##
+##  NOTES ON IMPLEMENTATION:
+##
+##   (1) When this script is called with no arguments, it reads a run-
+##     time config file to determine which group of file-stored,
+##     bookmarked paths to read into shell variables and to make readily
+##     accessible via path navigation aliases.  If the run-time config
+##     is not found the shell creates it and populates it with its
+##     identifier '1' for the first group among 1..9 supported groups
+##     of path (also referred to as directory) bookmarks.
+##
+##   (2) When this script is called with a first argument in the range
+##     1..9, a single character number representation, the script
+##     writes this number to its run-time config file, and uses this
+##     number to choose among groups of saved paths written to the
+##     given user's dot-bashrc-amendments stored path files.  If not
+##     called with a valid bookmarks group id, this script falls back
+##     to doing the tasks in (1)
+##
+##
+##
+##
+##  TO DO:
+##
+##    [ ]  add to this script function which detects and shows
+##         the script's own aliases, and another function(s) to
+##         allow user to change aliases, e.g. in event that alias
+##         conflicts with a locally installed command,
+##
+##    [ ]  add to this script the ability to open arbitrary text
+##         file containing bookmarked paths, and to show it without
+##         replacing present bookmarks,
+##
+##    [ ]  add to this script a function to show bookmarks it
+##         holds and status of whether each given bookmark exists
+##         as a valid path on the local file system,
+##
+##    [ ]  2017-12-02 - add parameters sanity check to routine 'read_bookmarks_file',
+##
+##    [ ]  2017-12-02 - add settings file to store latest selected group of bookmarks,
+##
+##
+##
+##
+##
+##  TO CONFIRM:
+##
+##    [ ]  2017-12-02 - make sure that variable 'index' is visible in
+##         the scope of the script which sets the alias 'sp' which
+##         saves bookmarked paths,

+=== [[#top|^]] shell arrays and array implementation ===
+Classic Unix/*nix shell command interpreters are not designed to provide full or detailed mathematical operations support.  Variables tend to be weakly typed and treated as strings, but Bourne Again SHell or bash has some basic math facilities.  This in turn lends support to some limited, kind of clunky array syntax.  But this array facility in one or more versions of Unix based shell can be better than no array support.  Some references:
+*  https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/array-basics-shell-scripting-set-1/
+*  https://tldp.org/
+  *  https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/arrays.html
+Also may be worth looking at example 11-14, second shell script which omits 'do' and 'done' keywords in shell FOR-loop construct:
+  *  https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/loops1.html
+. . . there may be syntax here which allows for more sane, flexible array element assignments.

+Wanting to understand and use <code>git</code> better, here are some on-line references to <code>git</code> version control.  Also, Ted searching for a <code>git</code> reference posted by a female author, can't remember name but reference well-written with lots of commands and concise explanations of each command.  First URL reference may be that page, now 2017-10-02 not sure of the author's name . . .
