Feature request - closed PRs are not scrubbed by BFG #345

Closed jimmyli2 closed 4 years ago

jimmyli2 commented 4 years ago

Hello,

Is it possible to add a feature that would scrub the sensitive data in closed PRs? Thanks

aakoch commented 4 years ago

This sounds like a feature of Bitbucket or Github, not of Git. AFAIK, Git doesn't have the concept of pull requests.

@RecodeL in most managed Git platforms, the (hidden) refs owned by PRs etc. are read-only. That is why many folks have trouble shrinking their hosted repos, despite BFG being able to shrink them locally in a clone quite easily.

Thanks folks! I'll close it for now.
