registry: add `git-filter-repo` by garysassano · Pull Request #9550 · jdx/mise

garysassano · 2026-05-02T19:35:26Z

git-filter-repo is the officially recommended replacement for git filter-branch, endorsed by the git project itself. It rewrites git repository history with far better performance and safety than alternatives.

Code Review

This pull request adds a new tool definition for git-filter-repo to the registry using the pipx backend. The review feedback suggests adding git as a dependency to ensure the tool functions correctly at runtime and recommends improving the test command to verify the version instead of just checking for the binary's existence.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a registry entry for git-filter-repo, a well-known git history-rewriting tool officially recommended by the git project. The entry uses the pipx: Tier 3 backend, which the author has justified (no precompiled binaries exist — only a source archive and a Python script). The file itself is structurally sound.

The PR description is missing the required ## Popularity section (GitHub stars, forks, download counts) mandated by CLAUDE.md for every registry submission. This data helps the maintainer evaluate the submission without re-doing the research, and PRs without it are more likely to be rejected.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge once the PR description is updated with the required popularity section.

Only a P2 finding (missing popularity section in PR description per CLAUDE.md policy). The file itself is structurally correct, and prior threads have already addressed the backend-tier and test concerns. Score is 4 rather than 5 due to the missing required documentation, which is a non-negotiable per CLAUDE.md.

registry/git-filter-repo.toml is the only changed file; no special attention needed beyond the PR description gap.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
registry/git-filter-repo.toml	New registry entry using pipx: backend with a `which`-based test (avoids the version-hash issue); structurally correct but the PR description lacks the required popularity section.
