Remove file from git repository (history)

SOLUTION: This is the shortest way to get rid of the files:

1. check .git/packed-refs - my problem was that I had there a refs/remotes/origin/master line for a remote repository, delete it, otherwise git won't remove those files

2. (optional) git verify-pack -v .git/objects/pack/#{pack-name}.idx | sort -k 3 -n | tail -5 - to check for the largest files

3. (optional) git rev-list --objects --all | grep #{SHA_FROM_#_3} - to check what files those are

Updated Apr 5 2019:

because this is a gist from 2011 that people stumble into and maybe you should AES instead of 3DES in the year of our lord 2019.

some other notes:

Client-side SSL

Create a Certificate Authority root (which represents this server)

Organization & Common Name: Some human identifier for this server CA.

openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

Create the Client Key and CSR

How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

Lets get some context first.

There are certain files created by particular editors, IDEs, operating systems, etc., that do not belong in a repository. But adding system-specific files to the repo's .gitignore is considered a poor practice. This file should only exclude files and directories that are a part of the package that should not be versioned (such as the node_modules directory) as well as files that are generated (and regenerated) as artifacts of a build process.

All other files should be in your own global gitignore file:

• Create a file called .gitignore in your home directory and add any filepath patterns you want to ignore.
• Tell git where your global gitignore file is.

Note: The specific name and path you choose aren't important as long as you configure git to find it, as shown below. You could substitute .config/git/ignore for .gitignore in your home directory, if you prefer.

Steps to generate self-signed PKCS#12 SSL certificate and export its keys:

1- Create PKCS#12 keystore (.p12 or .pfx file)

keytool -genkeypair -keystore myKeystore.p12 -storetype PKCS12 -storepass MY_PASSWORD -alias KEYSTORE_ENTRY -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 99999 -dname "CN=My SSL Certificate, OU=My Team, O=My Company, L=My City, ST=My State, C=SA" -ext san=dns:mydomain.com,dns:localhost,ip:127.0.0.1

• myKeystore.p12 = keystore filename. It can with .pfx extension as well.
• MY_PASSWORD = password used for the keystore and the private key as well.
• CN = commonName, it will be shown as certiciate name in certificates list.
• OU = organizationUnit, department name for example.

Curl with Java KeyStore

Curl doesn't have support for java keystore file, so therefor the file should be converted to a PEM format. It consists of the following multiple steps:

1. Convert keystore to p12 file
2. Convert p12 file to pem file
3. Run curl command with pem files
