First, You can consider the new
git filter-repo, which will replace the oldgit filter-branchor BFG.It has many usage examples, including path-based filtering:
Second, regarding pull-requests, you would need to fetch them first
Then, after filtering, you will need to force push everything back.
As torek notes in the comments:
So purging PR branches might not be enough anyway. Any fork (from which a PR was made) would still have the sensitive data anyway.
If there are no forks and the PR are done using local branches (to the repository), then you don't need to fetch any
refs/pull.Modifying the source branch of a PR and force pushing it should be enough to change the Pull Request (although, its page might still reference the previous commits which are now obsolete).
