Description: Quickly rewrite git repository history
git filter-repo is a versatile tool for rewriting history, which includes
capabilities not found anywhere else. It roughly falls into the
same space of tool as git filter-branch but without the capitulation-inducing
poor performance, with far more capabilities, and with a design that scales
usability-wise beyond trivial rewriting cases. git filter-repo is now
recommended by the git project instead of git filter-branch.
.
While most users will probably just use filter-repo as a simple command
line tool (and likely only use a few of its flags), at its core filter-repo
contains a library for creating history rewriting tools. As such, users
with specialized needs can leverage it to quickly create entirely new
history rewriting tools.
