Removing secrets from git history

The scenario here is, you have a secret in your commit history and push to origin errored out because of it. Now you need to remove the offending file from your local git history.

brew install git-filter-repo

git filter-repo --path .env --invert-paths --force

git remote add origin https://github.com/pbprasad99/big_moves.git

git push --set-upstream origin main 

git push origin --force --all
