The best way is to merge all commits into one, which is answered by this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7425725/how-to-merge-all-previous-commits-into-a-single-commit?rq=1 – Jon Cairns Mar 25 '13 at 14:43

Given that your main branch is called master, and you want to remove all commits except the last one from your master:
git checkout --orphan tmpgit add . --allgit commit -m "Init."git push origin tmp- On your remote git repo select tmp as main branch
git branch -D mastergit push origin :mastergit checkout -b mastergit push origin master- On your remote git repo select master as main branch
git branch -D tmpgit push origin :tmp

The easiest solution is to remove the .git directory.
Open the Linux Terminal.
Move to your repository and:
cat .git/config
Note the url variable and the name of the branch:
$my_url
$my_branch
rm -rf .git
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin $my_url
git push -u --force origin $my_branch
I made this bash script which can be improved. Awaiting suggestions.
