  • Cleaning Your Git History: Safely Removing Sensitive Data
    2 projects | dev.to | 19 Dec 2023
    **WARNING**: git-filter-branch has a glut of gotchas generating mangled history rewrites. Hit Ctrl-C before proceeding to abort, then use an alternative filtering tool such as 'git filter-repo' (https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/) instead. See the filter-branch manual page for more details; to squelch this warning, set FILTER_BRANCH_SQUELCH_WARNING=1. Proceeding with filter-branch...

  • (RE not sharing inputs) PSA: "deleting" and committing to git doesn't actually remove it
    2 projects | /r/adventofcode | 9 Dec 2023
    Yup you need https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo Take a look at https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/blob/main/INSTALL.md for instructions
  • How I teach Git
    1 project | dev.to | 26 Nov 2023
    git filter-repo: a third-party command actually, as a replacement to Git's own filter-branch, that allows rewriting the whole history of a repository to remove a mistakenly added file, or help extract part of the repository to another.
  • Merging old repos into a monolithic git repo archive
    1 project | dev.to | 12 Jul 2023
    I needed to archive some old repositories into a monorepo and of course I gave myself the requirement of maintaining git history, in some way. I tried a couple of solutions but it wasn't until I stumbled upon the git-filter-repo project at https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo and another article which I've since lost (which was badly documented anyway) that I was able to figure out how to do this.
  • Mass edit of .git/objects
    1 project | /r/git | 20 May 2023
    Git objects are not designed to be changed, they are immutable blobs. This is not a problem if you are making a reader, but is a problem when you want to change things, tools like old git-filter-branch or the newer filter repo abstract all reference updating away for you
  • Question about Git LFS
    1 project | /r/gamedev | 4 May 2023
    Make sure your gitignore is setup right (GitHub has a repo of good defaults). If you messed that up, you could rewrite git history to remove the big stuff. Use git-filter-repo. Not sure how that works for LFS.

  • Large initial push.
    2 projects | /r/git | 6 Apr 2023
    I personally prefer git-bfg ( https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/ ) ... though git-filter-repo ( https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo ) is quite popular. The difference for me was that git-bfg is JVM based and my work machine has Java on it while git-filter-repo is python based... and my work machine is without python.
  • Is there a way to scrub certain info from a repo's history? I wanna make a repo public, but at one point I stored my API client credentials in the code. Presumably that makes it technically unsafe to ever share that repo. What to do?
