              "content": "Good news: rotating the key was the most important step, so the pressure's off. Now let's scrub the history.\n\n## Before you start\n\n- **Coordinate with your team.** History rewriting breaks everyone's clones. Tell them *before* you force push, not after.\n- **Check for forks/other copies.** If this repo is on GitHub and others have forked or mirrored it, the secret can persist there. You may need to contact GitHub Support to invalidate cached views and force a GC on their side.\n- **Back up the repo first:** `git clone --mirror` somewhere safe.\n\n## Find the offending commit\n\n```bash\ngit log --all --full-history -p -- <path-to-file>\n# or search for the key itself\ngit log -p -S 'AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' --all\n```\n\n## Preferred tool: git filter-repo\n\n`git filter-repo` is fast, safe, and officially recommended (BFG is the older alternative).\n\n**Option A — replace the secret string everywhere it appears:**\n\n```bash\npip install git-filter-repo\n```\n\nCreate `replacements.txt`:\n```\nAKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==>REMOVED\n```\n\nThen, from a **fresh clone** (filter-repo refuses to run on non-fresh clones by default):\n\n```bash\ngit filter-repo --replace-text ../replacements.txt --force\n```\n\n**Option B — remove the whole file from history** (if the key was only ever in one file):\n\n```bash\ngit filter-repo --invert-paths --path <path-to-file> --force\n```\n\nThis rewrites all commits touching that file. If you want to *squash/eliminate* only the one bad commit rather than redact the string, the same path-inversion works; `--replace-text` is usually cleaner.\n\n## Force push\n\n```bash\ngit push origin --force --all\ngit push origin --force --tags\n```\n\n## Post-push cleanup\n\n1. **GC the local repo** (filter-repo usually does this, but verify):\n   ```bash\n   git reflog expire --expire=now --all\n   git gc --prune=now --aggressive\n   ```\n2. **Server-side:** the host (GitHub/GitLab) may retain unreachable objects for a while. GitLab has a \"housekeeping\" admin action; GitHub requires contacting support or waiting for their GC. This matters if the repo might ever be made public.\n3. **Teammates must re-clone** (or `git fetch && git reset --hard origin/main` after backing up local work). Old clones still contain the key.\n\n## Teammate recovery\n\n```bash\ngit fetch origin\ngit rebase --onto origin/main <old-base>  # or just re-clone if work is small\n```\n\n## Caveats\n\n- CI/CD artifacts, PR descriptions, code review comments, and build logs may also contain the key — check those.\n- If the repo is public or shared beyond your team, treat the key as permanently exposed regardless of history rewriting (you already rotated, so you're covered).\n\nWant help crafting the exact filter-repo command once you tell me whether the key is in a dedicated file or inline in code?",
