    You already stopped Steven in a prior commit.

    Also, if this is an organization setting, I’m extremely disappointed in your PR review process. If someone is committing vendor code to the repo someone else should reject the pull.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s not enough to delete the files in the commit, unless you’re ok with Git tracking the large amount of data that was previously committed. Your git clones will be long, my friend

      You’d have to rewrite the history as to never having committed those files in the first place, yes.

      And then politely ask all your coworkers to reset their working environments to the “new” head of the branch, same as the old head but not quite.

      Chaos ensues. Sirens in the distance wailing.

        No, don’t do that. That modifies the commit hashes, so tags no longer work.

        git clone --filter=blob:none is where it’s at.

          I don’t understand how we’re all using git and it’s not just some backend utility that we all use a sane wrapper for instead.

          Everytime you want to do anything with git it’s a weird series or arcane nonsense commands and then someone cuts in saying “oh yeah but that will destroy x y and z, you have to use this other arcane nonsense command that also sounds nothing like you’re trying to do” and you sit there having no idea why either of them even kind of accomplish what you want.
