+ [2016-08-15T19:53:45Z] gitinfo Rewriting public history is not recommended. Everyone who has pulled the old history will have to do work (and you'll have to tell them to), so it's infinitely better to just move on. If you must, you can use `git push --force-with-lease <remote> <branch>` to force (and the remote may reject that, anyway). See http://goo.gl/waqum

@jhass: hm, yes, it's all a bit daunting really. I get the principle, I run scientific literature monitoring bots on cron, but that "giving a publicly accessible service" which confuses me. I'm still wondering whether I can use some arbitrary service as a go-between, like IFTTT, Zapier, etc.
