    I’ve used these tools to remove stuff from git history (e.g. someone accidentally committed a password or key that wasn’t noticed for a while) and they are powerful but scary. Good discussion on what when wrong and how to avoid it or at least notice it before it gets this far

      Rewriting history maybe should not have been the first cause of action, resetting the password would have been the sane option here.

      Not judging though 😉
