I am new to BitBucket & I wish to anonymize the content of the files inside a Repository in BitBucket. Suppose there are hundreds of files in a repository and in each of the file, I want to replace a phrase  'ABC Corp' with 'XXX XXXX'. Is that possible ? Please note, I do not intend to manually change those files and perform COMMIT. 

Thank You.

Hi,

 

While you can checkout, global replace (many methods such as your IDE or sed/other Linux utility) then commit, you’ll need to consider that the original content will be available in the previous commits, so if they’re sensitive enough (or GDPR issues), you may want to delete the repo and re-push your cleaned code
