Thanks for your feedbacks.

What finally worked best for me was using git-filter-repo, see steps below:

1. Install the git-filter-repo

   CMD: pip install git-filter-repo

2. Select the file path that you obtained from the EVE tool scan and use the following Git command to check its commit history.

   CMD: $ git log --all -- file ./passwords

3. Remove the directory that is there in the commit history that is exposing the secrets

   CMD : git filter-repo --invert-paths --path ./passwords

4. Add the origin and push the changes to the origin

   CMD: git remote add origin (url link or clone repo link)

5. to push the changes use this cmd:

   CMD: git push origin --force --all

6. Push the tags that have changed:

   CMD :git push --force --tags

In my case, the git cherry-pick solution involved too many conflicts to solve and after more than 1h of testing, I gave up.
