Git delete commit history

Git remove from history

$ git rm --cached giant_file
# Stage our giant file for removal, but leave it on disk
$ git commit --amend -CHEAD

Git delete commit history

Deleting the .git folder may cause problems in your git repository. If you want to delete all your commit history but keep the code in its current state, it is very safe to do it as in the following:

1. Checkout

git checkout --orphan latest_branch

2. Add all the files

git add -A

3. Commit the changes

git commit -am "commit message"

4. Delete the branch

git branch -D main

5. Rename the current branch to main

git branch -m main

6. Finally, force update your repository

git push -f origin main

PS: this will not keep your old commit history around
