Select Topic AreaQuestion BodyIs it possible to run a git command from Powershell or a .NET program that would remove all files in a remote repository with a commit date that is more than 5 days older than the current date? If so, does anyone know what this command would look like? Thanks |

Git history is generally supposed to be permanent, so there's nothing built-in for this. Rewriting history is possible though, so it would certainly be possible to create such a tool. However you should keep in mind that this would cause a lot of trouble if you apply it to a repository shared with anyone else, because with each change they'd have to manually accept the new history. |
