Delete first 10 commits of project

Question

I created a software and saved some informations in a file. I pushed everything to github and after 9 commits I saw that this file was also pushed to github. I changed the .gitignore so that file isnt pushed anymore.

The problem is now that the information can be seen in the first 10 commits...

Can I somehow delete the first 10 commits and nothing else? (So that my 11th commit would be the first one. I already have more commits)

I have deleted the .git-folder and created a new repo when I had committed and pushed a basic auth header to github. — kometen, Apr 01 '21 at 10:28

You can run rebase interactively by adding the -i option to git rebase. You must indicate how far back you want to rewrite commits by telling the command which commit to rebase onto.

git rebase -i HEAD~10

You can reference git-rebase

@sirzento you can change commit message, just like edit merge conflict commit message. – KennetsuRinn Apr 01 '21 at 15:07
