Git: How to reset a remote Git repository to remove all commits?

by

Completely reset?

  1. Delete the .git directory locally.

  2. Recreate the git repostory:

    $ cd (project-directory)
$ git init
$ (add some files)
$ git add .
$ git commit -m 'Initial commit'

  3. Push to remote server, overwriting. Remember you’re going to mess everyone else up doing this … you better be the only client.

    $ git remote add origin <url>
$ git push --force --set-upstream origin master
