How to remove a large file from commit history in git

I had committed a headless Chromium module. The purpose of committing modules for me in late stage projects is to make sure they exist, who knows what could happen later. Nevermind it's a module, this may have well been an errant zip file or anything preventing size-limited transfers.

This method will remove any file from any commit in history.

$ git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf node_modules/pdf-puppeteer' HEAD
$ # or 'rm -f $FILENAME'
