  |dockbfg-repo-cleaner| Dockerized version of BFG Repo Cleaner.

An alternative to git-filter-branch

-----------------------------------

*The following text was copied from the original website*

The BFG is a simpler, faster alternative to git-filter-branch for cleansing bad data out of your Git repository history:

* Removing **Crazy Big Files**

* Removing **Passwords**, **Credentials** & other **Private data**

The `git-filter-branch` command is enormously powerful and can do things that the BFG can't - but the BFG is much better for the tasks above, because:

* `Faster`_ : 10 - 720x faster

* `Simpler`_ : The BFG isn't particularily clever, but is focused on making the above tasks easy

* Beautiful : If you need to, you can use the beautiful Scala language to customise the BFG. Which has got to be better than Bash scripting at least some of the time.
