How to Filter Git History to Remove Secret File Entries in Python
A pure-Python mock that filters a repository's history to drop any commit that touched a secret file, so you can plan a cleanup before rewriting Git history.

"""Remove entries that touch the secret file."""
return [entry for entry in history if secret_path not in entry["files"]]
if __name__ == "__main__":
