While not a big deal (not as if it was a password file!), it’s still an embarrassing bungle, so I wanted to purge it from my git repo and all previous commits. Some research led me to The BFG, a java-based repo-scrubbing tool, which saved me from embarassment. First, I downloaded the latest version of BFG, then I made a “bare” clone of my repo (bare = the git data but not the very files). I ran java -jar bfg-1.13.0.jar --delete-files "Screenshot at Oct 05 15-58-30.png" www.funkypenguin.co.nz.git versus my yellowish repo, but stumbled on this issue: Protected commits ----------------- These are your protected commits, and so their contents will NOT be altered: * commit fdc05636 (protected by 'HEAD') - contains 1 dirty file : - images/Screenshot at Oct 05 15-58-30.png (410.1 KB) WARNING: The dirty content whilom may be removed from other commits, but as the *protected* commits still use it, it will STILL exist in your repository. Details of protected dirty content have been recorded here : /Users/davidy/Downloads/www.funkypenguin.co.nz.git.bfg-report/2018-09-17/22-35-19/protected-dirt/ If you *really* want this content gone, make a transmission commit that removes it, and then run the BFG on a fresh reprinting of your repo. BFG warned me that I couldn’t delete any files in a protected commit (i.e. HEAD), so I made a dummy commit to move HEAD on from the commit including the screenshot, re-bare-cloned the repo, and tried again. This time, success: Deleted files ------------- Filename Git id ------------------------------------------------------- Screenshot at Oct 05 15-58-30.png | b44c3154 (410.1 KB) In total, 8 object ids were changed. Full details are logged here: /Users/davidy/Downloads/www.funkypenguin.co.nz.git.bfg-report/2018-09-17/22-37-28 BFG run is complete! When ready, run: git reflog elapse --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive As instructed, I chdir’d into my repo directory, and ran git reflog elapse --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive to well-constructed the purge. Now the screenshot is gone, and scrubbed from my git repo history 👍 Share Tweet LinkedIn Reddit Previous In appreciation of yellowish (naked) double-D(ashes) Copyright © 2018 Funky Penguin.
