User Story

As a developer I want that overhead that we add to upstream repo forks to be as small as possible so that rebases will happen smoother and don't see many conflicts.

Background

Having a huge overhead of our commits in upstream forks causes some problems for rebases, as the possibility of conflict increases. Also it clogs commit history and it's harder to seatch for a required commit there.

Steps

• Create a repo in openshift-cloud-team org
• Implement a tool there that removes all commits related to OWNERS, Dockerfile, vendor/ updates.

Stakeholders

• Potentially all owners of upstream forks in OpenShift.

Definition of Done

• The tool successfully removes unnecessary commits from the history without breaking anything.

• Document how to use the tool.

• Implement unit tests for the tool
