# Remove commit history
Accidental commits can be tricky to remove with Git. In this GitHub Skills course, you'll use BFG Repo-Cleaner to change the history of a Git repository. You can apply what you learn in this course to fully remove sensitive material from your own repository.
## Finish
_Congratulations friend, you've completed this course!_
Here's a recap of all the tasks you've accomplished in your repository:
- Removed a file from the head commit of the repository
- Used BFG Repo-Cleaner to removed a file from all Git history in the repository
- Avoided accidental commits by telling Git to ignore a specific file name
### What's next?
