bfg

Remove large files or passwords from Git history like git-filter-branch.

Note: if your repository is connected to a remote, you will need to force push to it.

• Remove a file with sensitive data but leave the latest commit untouched:

bfg --delete-files {file_with_sensitive_data}

• Remove all text mentioned in the specified file wherever it can be found in the repository's history:

bfg --replace-text {path/to/file.txt}
