Rewrite History

Rebase

To remove a specific commit from history, rebase it.

• Find out the hash from the previous commit of the one you want to delete via g l
• Start interactive rebase: git rebase -i <HASH-PREVOUS-COMMIT>
• Then remove the commit from the opened rebase message in your editor. Save and close.
• Now, force push everything git push --force-with-lease origin master.

Convert large files to LFS

To remove or convert files in the git history, use BFG (brew install bfg).

$ bfg --convert-to-git-lfs '*.mv4' --no-blob-protection
$ git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive
