Option 1) If you still have the original repo, just fetch from it before pushing:

git fetch --unshallow

Option 2) BEWARE! this is only recommended for new repos, as this WILL result in loss of history, and also is highly prone to conflicts!!

If you've already removed the repository where you fetched from, you need to discard all history with.

 git filter-branch -- --all
 git push

git filter-branch : Lets you rewrite Git revision history

-- : separates filter-branch options from revision options

--all : to rewrite all branches and tags
