    @romangraef change password.

    Even if it is deleted someone might already have seen it. :/

    Change your password, then reset the commit and force push (not that it's really necessary)

    At least you caught it
    Some people never realize they have done it.

    @balte we all do (i hope at least). would be unprofessional if we'd skip the background checks.

    It has happened to me before. You can use git filter-branch to fix it instead of deleting your repo or creating a new one.

    See https://help.github.com/articles/...

    Been there, did that..

    Even though you force push, anyone can still see the file history (or maybe I did something wrong) I had no choice but to delete / recreate the repo 😅😅

    @TwiN if I recall if someone had the hash they can find it still.

    @demortes locally sure but why would github keep track of orphaned commits?

    @Commodore I assume it's like Gmail. Archive everything. Probably can be told to clean it up through repo settings though so maybe they don't? I'd have to test.

    @balte I didn't understand a word you said. But I'll buy it.
