Shrinking your git repository with BFG Repo-Cleaner

  Removes large or troublesome blobs like git-filter-branch does, but faster. And written in Scala

I recently decided to find a way to reduce the size of a git repository for a project. Previous engineers had committed some relatively large files and it took too long to clone the repository. We deleted the files months ago, but they are buried in history. I found a tool called BFG Repo-Cleaner that makes this incredibly easy. Using it, I was able to decrease the size of our project from around 750MB to under 10MB without losing any valuable history.
