Git Remove All Commits

Clean up history from a repository by removing the git commits and replacing it with a new single commit.

1. Create a temporarily branch disconnected from all the other branches and commits:

git checkout --orphan temp_branch

2. Add the files to new temporarily branch:

git add -A

3. Commit the changes:

git commit -am "First commit"

4. Delete the main branch:

git branch -D master

5. Rename temporarily branch to the main branch:

git branch -m master

6. Force push the new main branch:

git push -f origin master
