Remove large or sensitive files

Warning: This process rewrites history. Teams beware!

I've found this useful to remove images from being stored within a Statamic website's repo and instead being backed-up to Digitalocean spaces. GitHub recommends this and I've followed this process a few times. Your mileage may vary.

1. Check current size of repo (on dev server or locally):

Nav to repo

Redirects

docs/legacy-redirects.map: a file listing source and destination (separated by a space) ending each line with a ;

/source /destination;
/news/old-post-2005 /blog;

nginx.conf as set via forge.laravel.com

AFTER include (L1) (NB: edit the domain)

s3cmd

This is a command line tool for syncing with DigitalOcean Spaces or Amazon S3.

I'm using this in the context of .gitignore'ing Assets from a Statamic site.

Install & configure

s3cmd setup

SSH into server

Deployment

Creating and configuring a new site / environment occurs occasionally. Often, to update the underlying server software.

This site has been built with:

Statamic v3 is a flat file CMS
Statamic is a Laravel v9 package
CSS via Tailwind v3
Javascript via AlpineJS v3
Composer is the PHP package manager
NPM is the JS package manager
