How to delete the commit history in github, after commiting some sensitive data

$ git clone git@github.com:RafalSladek/myLinux.git

Since all the commit history are in the “.git” folder, we have to remove it. So, go inside your project folder. For me the project folder is ‘myproject’.

$ cd myLinux

And delete the ‘.git folder’ with this command.

$ sudo rm .git -r

Now, let us re-initialize the repository.

$ git init
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:RafalSladek/myLinux.git
$ git remote -v

Next, let us add all our files and commit the changes.

$ git add --all
$ git commit -am 'initial commit'

Now, since we just have one commit i.e ‘initial commit’. Let us force push update to our master branch of our project repository.

$ git push -f origin master

Go and check your project repository in github, you should see only one commit.
