有没有办法删除所有文件并在github上提交

Question

I want to delete all files and commits on my github repository. But I don't want to destroy the repo. Stars should be stay. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Being in the project's directory:

rm -rf .git/
git rm -r *
git init
git add .
git remote add origin projects_url
git commit -m "Remove everything"
git push -u --force origin master

Answer 2

Push an empty local repo with the --mirror flag

$ mkdir practice; cd practice;
$ git init; git remote add origin git@github.com:user/practice.git;

$ git push origin --mirror
remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master
To git@github.com:user/practice.git
 ! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:user/practice.git'

On GitHub you can get around this by making an initial commit then pushing.
