Removing large binary blobs

Git filter-repo is a filter-branch replacement for rewriting history written in a single-file python script.

To wipe large binary files entirely:

git filter-repo --strip-blobs-bigger-than 100M

Bonus: Remove sensitive content

git filter-repo --use-base-name --path id_dsa --path id_rsa --invert-paths

git filter-repo --replace-text passwords.txt
