Git Repository Sanitization

概要

Provides a systematic framework for securing Git repositories by detecting and purging sensitive data across both current file contents and historical commits. This skill guides users through comprehensive pattern-based detection, entropy analysis, and the implementation of robust sanitization strategies using tools like BFG Repo-Cleaner or git-filter-repo. It is essential for teams preparing private codebases for public release, conducting security audits, or remediating accidental credential leaks to ensure compliance and prevent unauthorized access.
