从git历史记录中删除已删除的文件夹 [英] Remove a deleted folder form git history

问题描述

如何删除已从git历史记录中删除的文件夹？

在我的git仓库中，有一个名为 / foo的文件夹（1.2GB大小）。我已经用 rm -rf / foo 删除了文件夹 foo ，因为我不再需要它了。在我认为许多其他提交之后。为什么我的远程回购如此之大......我忘了做 git rm --cached ... 而不是 rm -rf ... 。如何从git历史记录中删除该文件夹？

git rm --cached / foo 不起作用因为该文件夹已经在先前的提交中被删除。

documentation 涵盖了从历史中清除文件的类似情况：

  git filter-branch --index-filter'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch filename'HEAD 
  

由于您要删除整个目录，请将 -r 标志添加到 git rm ：

  git filter-branch --index-filter \ 
'git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch path / to / directory'HEAD 
  

请注意，此操作在较大的存储库上需要几分钟的时间。更重要的是，它将创建一个具有不同h的新存储库历史和校验。如果您以前发布过您的存储库，则新版本的历史记录与其他人的历史记录不兼容。

How can I remove a folder that is already deleted from the git history?

In my git repository I have a folder called /foo (1.2GB of size). I have deleted the folder foo with rm -rf /foo beause I do not need it any more. After many other commits I thought. Why is my remote repo so big...I have forgotten to do git rm --cached ... instead of rm -rf .... How can I now remove the folder from git history?

git rm --cached /foo won't work because the folder is already delete in an earlier commit.

解决方案

The documentation covers the similar case of purging a file from history:

git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch filename' HEAD

Since you are deleting a whole directory, add the -r flag to git rm:

git filter-branch --index-filter \
                  'git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch path/to/directory' HEAD

Note that this operation will take several minutes on larger repositories.

More importantly, it will make a new repository with distinct history and checksums. If you previously published your repository, the history of the new one will not be compatible with the history others have pulled.
