BFG is amazing for helping you switch a repo from private to public, especially when you might have been lazy early on and kept credentials in your repo, even if you shouldn't have. You can replace your known credentials with REDACTED throughout history without compromising the rich history your git commits (should) record about the evolution of a piece of code over time. IMO, your commits are just as important as the code its self for understanding how and why something came into being.
