git-obliterate(1) -- rewrite past commits to remove some files
===============================
## SYNOPSIS
git obliterate <files...> [-- <rev-list options...>]
## DESCRIPTION
Completely remove some files from the repository, including past commits and tags.
WARNING! This command will rewrite the history similar to `git rebase`(though it affects more). The rewritten history will have different object names for all the objects and will not converge with the original branch. So **avoid using it on commits that you shared**.
And it will mess up stash, so **don't have stash when you run `git obliterate`**.
## OPTIONS
You can pass rev-list options to indicate the range of commits affected. Those options need to be separated with '--' before them. Run `git help rev-list` to see the acceptable options.
## Examples
Remove .secret from the repository:
$ git obliterate .secret
Remove .secret from commits between origin and feature:
$ git obliterate .secret -- feature ^origin
Remove .secret from commit abcdefg to commit 1234567
$ git obliterate .secret -- abcdefg..1234567
