bfg Cheatsheet

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
