So I am cleaning up some source code and putting it onto Github. I made some mistakes when I made my first commit, so I needed to back that out. The rest of this short post describes how I did it.
But first, a warning: If other people are using the code in your repo already do not do this. It will completely mess them up and should only be done when you are first committing a project, or at least only when no one has forked the project.
First you scrap your commits in your local repo...
git init
git add .
Next make sure there are no extraneous files...
git status
If there are files you don't mean to add the remove them...
git rm --cached FileToRemove
Next do the commit and force it onto the master...
git commit -a -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin git@github.com:Owner/Repo.git
git push origin +master
