How to delete all commits in Bitbucket

Question

I want to revert all my changes in a repository, so is it possible to delete all commits in Bitbucket? If so, how?

Create a new repo (discard old one, if not required). Isn't that sufficient? — sinhayash, Apr 20 '14 at 18:15

I have no idea why you'd want to do something like this, but..

One way to do it would be to reset to your initial commit:

git reset --hard (find the sha1 of your first commit)

and then force push:

git push -f

You're pretty much rewriting the entire history of whatever branch you're pushing to. Why not just create a new repository?

If your initial commit is say for example a 3GB one, you still have that monster in the closet and this does not remove it. – Mark Schultheiss Apr 29 '17 at 04:58
