I would like to use git filter-repo to format all my c files in my repos history. To format the files I use clang-format. Doing this with git filter-branch I know that I could do:

git filter-branch --tree-filter 'find . -type f -iname \*\.cpp -o -iname \*\.hpp | xargs clang-format -i' HEAD

but since git suggests to use git filter-repo instead, I would like to do so. However it is unclear to me which callback function to use?

Cheers!

Alright, I found my answer at the bottom of this cheat sheet. There exists already a lint-history script which does exactly that. with a .clang-format file in the root of the git repo the following worked nicely

lint-history --relevant 'return (filename.endswith(b".cpp") or filename.endswith(b".hpp"))' clang-format -style=file:.clang-format -i
