aibot88 Rewrite Git history to purge secrets, binaries, or accidental paths before sharing a repo
Use git-filter-repo when an agent needs to surgically rewrite repository history after a leaked secret, a huge binary commit, or a bad subtree split. The agent analyzes the problem, builds the rewrite command, and leaves a clean follow-up checklist for force-push, clone reset, and downstream cleanup.
Prerequisites
git >= 2.36.0, python3 >= 3.6
Installation
Choose whichever fits your setup:
- Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
- Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
- Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
- Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
- Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.
Install command or upstream instructions:
Download the git-filter-repo script from the repo, preserve its name, and place it on your PATH
