A user pushed a sensitive file Data.txt to a GitHub repository. You must purge the file from the repository history. Which command (or command sequence) can you use to accomplish this?

The BFG Repo-Cleaner (bfg) is a powerful tool specifically designed for removing large or sensitive data from Git repository history. The command bfg --delete-files data.txt will rewrite the repository history to remove all traces of data.txt. Following this with git push --force updates the remote repository with the rewritten history. git rm data.txt git push --force only removes the file from the current commit, not from previous history. git filter-repo --invert-paths --path data.txt git push origin --force --all is a valid alternative for purging files, but bfg is often simpler for this specific task and is widely recognized for it. The provided git filter-repo command would keep data.txt and remove everything else due to --invert-paths. git checkout git reset --hard -pathspec data.txt and git checkout git clean -d data.txt --force are for managing the working directory or staging area, not for rewriting history. git revert -edit data.txt git push -force creates a new commit that undoes changes, but the sensitive file still exists in previous history.
