Stumbled across this the other day — life-saver. Very well-designed

We link to this regularly in the #git irc channel on freenode. Seth used to frequent there, but he hasn't been there for a while.

I had to do a bit of history rewriting not too long ago. On my professional-facing repo I had some projects from back when I was in college where I had done a mixture of commits from both my professional persona and another username. It was only recently that I noticed and so I used git-filter-branch to clear out the commits I had made.

Thankfully it was a long-dormant project.

"The BFG treats you like a reformed alcoholic: you've made some mistakes in the past, but now you've cleaned up your act."

As a member of AA, I resemble that remark ;)
