Bfg-repo-cleaner: The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread

[mitchellkrogza]

This is not an issue but merely a compliment on an absolutely fabulous tool.

Thank you SOOOO much for creating this. I had a repo which had grown to a whopping 3.8 Gb 😮 running of a 5 Mbps line from South Africa was just making it impossible to work with.

With BFG Cleaner I was able to run a simple one liner like this.

java -jar bfg-1.12.15.jar --delete-files "{continue.txt,result.txt,list,hosts,*active.txt,percentage.txt,inactive.txt,invalid.txt,combined*.txt,*.zip,hosts.deny,domains.list,hosts.windows,superhosts.deny,execution.log,install.log,potentially*.txt,inactive*.txt}" Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist.git/

and VOILA !!!

BFG is total savior. Well done !!! 👍 💯 🥇

@rtyley soon as I get some spare $$ in my paypal account I will make a donation for sure. You've done a great job with BFG. Saved my **s for sure.

@rtyley here's something quite interesting for you. My contributions for the past year were at about 9,200 this morning. After running BFG on this mega repo of mine look what happened to my contributions count. Interesting / bug in their contributions counts ??
