GitNuke

GitNuke is a command-line tool that helps you delete the git history of a branch. It is developed by atom06 and is available as an npx package.

Installation

You can install GitNuke using npm by running the following command:

$ npm install -g git-nuke

Usage

To use GitNuke, navigate to the git repository you want to clean and run the following command:

$ git-nuke

This will delete the git history of the current branch and push the changes to the remote repository.

You can also use the following options:

• -h or --help to get help with the usage.
• -v or --version to get the version of Git Nuke.

If you face any issues while using Git Nuke, you can contact the developer at [email protected] or raise an raise an issue on Github.

Why i made this

I understand why maintaining a clean and organized codebase in important. However, sometimes we make mistakes and code gets pushed to the repository without proper testing or organization or proper thinking if thats what you want. This can lead to a cluttered history and make it difficult to track changes and collaborate effectively.

To address this, I developed GitNuke, a command-line tool that helps to easily delete the git history of a branch. With GitNuke, developers can clean up their repository and start fresh, without the clutter of unnecessary or poorly organized code. This can improve collaboration, streamline development, and lead to a more efficient and effective codebase.

I hope that GitNuke can help other developers achieve their goals and make the development process smoother and more productive.

How it works

• Checkout's the repo to a repo called gitnuke;
• Adds all the files;
• Commits it;
• Deletes old branch;
• Renames to the old branch (main, master whatever);
• Pushes with force to github.
