Jefromi's answer will work, but if you want to keep your existing repo configuration, or even leave around the commits just in case, you could do the following:

git checkout master

git branch backup optionally leave another branch here in case you want to keep your history.

git reset --soft $SHA_OF_INIT_COMMIT this will update what HEAD is pointing to but leave your index and working directory in their current state. You can get the SHA with git log --pretty=format:%h --reverse | head -n 1, and make this one step with git reset --soft $(git log --pretty=format:%h --reverse | head -n 1)

git commit --amend change your initial commit to point to the current state of your repo.
