# how to find the commit that deleted a file
# find a file that you're not certain where it is anymore, if it's been deleted
git log --all --full-history -- "*MyFile.*"
  # find the path of the above
  git show --pretty="" --name-only <sha1-commit-hash>
  # now limit the above file's commits to just the exact path you want
  git log --all --full-history -- <path-to-file>
  # take the last commit, that'll show you the commit that deleted the file
  git show <sha1-commit-hash> -- <path-to-file>

# remove last commit from git _and_ filesystem
git reset --hard HEAD^

# remove last commit but keep files locally
git reset HEAD^

# switch to new remote repo
git remote add new-origin git@github.com:mobdata/md-build.git
git remote rm origin
git remote rename new-origin origin

# comparing 2 branches while also removing unwanted files from what's shown
git diff ded756f ef62f1a -- $(git diff --name-only ded756f ef62f1a | grep -Ev "package-lock.json")

# change author date when doing interactive rebase, so that author date is "now" instead in way past

# Do interactive rebase
# Choose edit
# Use `git commit --amend --date="now"`
