如何使用新的本地项目覆盖远程git存储库

Question

I don't have the permissions to delete/create a new repository so I would like clean out the one I have access to and overwrite it with a new project I started locally. I cannot find the instructions on how to do this.

Answer 1

You can add the repo as a remote to your new project, then use git push -f to destroy the repo's history and replace it with your own history.

That works equally well whether you're removing a single commit or replacing everything with a new history.
