The latest release of git-filter-repo, v2.27.0, is also now available.
It is comprised of 26 non-merge commits since v2.26.0, including two
changes from new contributors.
If you have been holding off on trying filter-repo because you didn't
want to figure out how to convert your filter-branch or BFG commands,
there are now cheat sheets for converting any example from the manual of
either of those tools into equivalent filter-repo commands; see the last
two links here:
https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo#how-do-i-use-it
The public repo of filter-repo is at
https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo
The tarballs can be found at:
https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/releases
git-filter-repo can also be installed via a variety of package managers
across Windows, Mac OS, or Linux (and maybe others)[1].
New contributors whose contributions weren't in v2.26.0 are as follows.
