Stack Overflow answer

Delete file with its history

https://stackoverflow.com/a/872700/2715716

Implemented in https://github.com/TomasHubelbauer/git-erase

Delete file's history keeping its current version

# Remove file with its history from the local repository
git filter-branch --force --index-filter "git rm --ignore-unmatch name.ext" --prune-empty HEAD

# Restore file's latest version from the remote repository
git checkout origin/main -- name.ext

git checkout can't work from the local repository, because in it, after the history was rewritten, the file never existed, so it has nowhere it could be recovered from. For that reason, it needs to be recovered from the remote copy where the new history has not been forced-pushed into yet, so the file still exists there.
