How to remove the first commit in git?

Question

I am curious about how to remove the first commit in git.

What is the revision before committing any thing? Does this revision have a name or tag?

Answer 1

# Check out to a temporary branch:
git checkout --orphan TEMP_BRANCH

# Add all the files:
git add -A

# Commit the changes:
git commit -am "Initial commit"

# Delete the old branch:
git branch -D master

# Rename the temporary branch to master:
git branch -m master

# Finally, force update to our repository:
git push -f origin master
