Removing sensitive information from git history

commits dont lie... hahahahah

The Shakira reference caught me off guards.

What if I want to keep the file but just replace the secret with an encrypted value?

Well-explained video with clear instructions. I have difficulties using the newest git-filter-repo, and this helps me save much time. Thanks!

Great video. Will this works for merge request too? The issue we’re running into is that GitLab merge requests are read-only and therefore can’t be updated, so the push to the merge request refs is rejected, meaning secrets persist in the merge requests.

Does this matter for local-only git repo? If I eventually push it to Github I want to make sure my file is not included in the history (my config file was not in my gitignore initially).

this ruins your PRs because the root of the updated branch differs from the main's root

My commits don't lie is so bad hahaha.

This worked for me! Was able to delete my secret keys from my git history. Thanks!

You are awesome!!!!!! THANK YOU

Thank you for this! worked perfectly

Thank you. Now I can fix my stupidity.

Man, thank you so much for this video:)

Very well explained. Thank you.

It is ridiculous of how much effort it takes to do this.
