Important update for any fork maintainers

[chris.john]

Hello all,

This is an important announcement for anybody maintaining a fork of ERDDAP. We recently discovered and removed sensitive information in the git history of ERDDAP. There is not and never was a risk to ERDDAP users or admins for the sensitive data in question.

Please update your forks to match the new repo history. The way I updated my fork is below. If you have questions on the git commands please reach out.

Note the b952da0 in the rebase command comes from one of the values returned by:

git reflog upstream/main

I believe that commit id will be stable for everyone, but if it isn't, you may need to use git reflog to identify the correct value for you. If you have not done a rebase since the repo moved to the ERDDAP organization, you may need a different value.

git tag BACKUP
And then if something goes wrong: git reset –hard BACKUP

git fetch upstream
git rebase --onto upstream/main b952da0 {your_branch_name_here}

Don't do a git pull here, if you do you will end up with duplicated history
git push --force

Chris
