You can delete files or delete branch from the GitHub Web GUI, but you cannot delete individual commits.

You could try an artificial pull request followed by a merge and squash, but that might not fit your particular need.

  • Would the artificial pull request followed by a merge and squash delete the commits and remove my stars, forks and watchers? – Jake Leroy Jul 23 '19 at 05:24
  • @JakeLeroy it depends what you actually mean by deleting the commits: stars and watches are associated to a repository, not commits: do you need to actually delete a repository? – VonC Jul 23 '19 at 06:06
  • I was wondering if deleting commits would effect the repositories stars, watches and forks. (I'm talking about commits to a repository) – Jake Leroy Jul 23 '19 at 16:35
  • No, that should not influence those metadata (star, watcher, ...) – VonC Jul 23 '19 at 17:12
