The 2 tools you need to trim down 1 humongous repository

Part of Azure DevOps migrations often involves swapping out the underpinning source control. Build up history for over 20 years, including all kinds of binary file formats, make up a gigantic repository that is a pain to work with.

I've had great success using filter-repo (and BFG before), git lfs, and a bit of excel to split, cleanup, reduce, remove and replace GBs of history into only a few 100 MBs tops.

In this session, I will show my plan of approach. For everyone that likes to have clean and concise repositories.
