Dangerous Removal

Normal removal deletes the current vendor entry:

Terminal window
ingraft remove effect

History removal is different. It rewrites the repository so the vendored path is removed from past commits too.

Terminal window
ingraft remove effect --history --confirm-history-rewrite

Use history removal only when the vendor tree made the repository too heavy or accidentally committed files that must not remain in history. The command is intentionally explicit because every collaborator must coordinate around the new history afterward.

Before running it:

  • Make a backup.
  • Coordinate with collaborators.
  • Confirm the target path.
  • Expect force-push and reclone work.
