Removes large or troublesome blobs like git-filter-branch does, but faster - and written in Scala
$ gitclean --strip-blobs-bigger-than 1M --replace-text banned.txt repo.git
Gitclean is a fork of the BFG Repo Cleaner (https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner) - a Scala-based tool used to simplify the cleaning and shrinking of Git repositories. The original was authored by Roberto Tyley; it has fallen into some disrepair and contains some "features" that are not suitable for a professional engineering environment. Until a Gitclean-specific website can be created, please visit https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/ for details and documentation.
At a minimum, Gitclean may be used to:
- Remove extremely large objects in repository history.
- Removing Passwords, Credentials and other Private data
As previously written, until Gitclean has a proper website, the main documention for BFG still applies : https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/
