Remove File From Git History

Useful stuff.

git filter-branch -f --index-filter 'git update-index --remove filename' HEAD
git push --force --verbose --dry-run
git push --force

Slight better version. Only rewrites history from the first commit the file existed.

git filter-branch -f --index-filter 'git update-index --remove filename' <introduction-revision-sha1>..HEAD
git push --force --verbose --dry-run
git push --force
