This will nuke .yarn/cache
out of existence from a git repository.
It uses BFG Repo Cleaner and rewrites history, so use at your own risk.
It works by first cloning a repo with the --mirror
flag into a temp path. It will then compute a list of git object ids of files in .yarn/cache
and delete them.
yarn dlx yarn-cache-remover [email protected]:myorg/myrepo.git --outDir /tmp/berry-no-cache
The pruned repository will be stored in <outDir>/repo-mirror
.
You can also specify multiple cache paths to prune:
yarn dlx yarn-cache-remover [email protected]:myorg/myrepo.git --cachePath .yarn/cache -cachePath other/someproj/.yarn/cache --outDir /tmp/berry-no-cache

Go to /tmp/berry-no-cache/repo-mirror and inspect the changes then push it, if desired. Remember that it's a mirror, so the files will not be visible. Git commands should work though.
