I have a file that contains a "secret" key value. I unwittingly committed two commits to my local repository that contained the value. Is there anything I can do to prevent the value from making it to the version(s) visible in the remote repository? I don't know if I can "edit" the commits or change the history of the file.
I'm using github for the remote repo. and am, obviously, very new to Git.
