[git] Copy a git repo without history

Deleting the .git folder is probably the easiest path since you don't want/need the history (as Stephan said).

So you can create a new repo from your latest commit: (How to clone seed/kick-start project without the whole history?)

git clone <git_url>

then delete .git, and afterwards run

git init

Or if you want to reuse your current repo: Make the current commit the only (initial) commit in a Git repository?

Follow the above steps then:

git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

Push to your repo.

git remote add origin <github-uri>
git push -u --force origin master
