About the project

Git-filter-repo is distributed version control system used by most development teams. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How releases reach a machine

Packaging differs from project to project. Some publish to system repositories, some to their own index, some only as source archives that a build tool expects.

Before you start

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

Afterwards

Verifying afterwards is straightforward. If something behaves unexpectedly, check for an older copy earlier in the path, or for a version manager pointing elsewhere.
