chmod +x ./git-filter-repo/git-filter-repo
./git-filter-repo/git-filter-repo --sensitive-data-removal --invert-paths --path src/google-services.json --force
- Check affected branches
grep -c '^refs/pull/.*/head$' .git/filter-repo/changed-refs
- If there is no affected branches, then push these changes
git push --force --mirror origin
