git-filter-repo-docker-action

A GitHub Docker Action to run git-filter-repo and push the result to a GitHub repository using ssh

This repo contains a github action to trigger a custom git-repo-filter command.

It is designed to be run on pushes to the main or master branch of a repository and to then push the resulting filtered repo to another remote using an ssh key.
