The model used git fsck to find unreachable objects, inspected the hidden commit, saved the secret to a file, expired the reflog, ran git gc --prune=now, and verified the repo was clean — all in 27 steps, ~41 seconds, for $0.09. The post walks through each step Grok took and explains the underlying Git mechanics (reflogs, unreachable objects, garbage collection) that make secret cleanup non-trivial. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
