How to shrink the .git folder
git gc --aggressive --prune # will perform garbage collection in your repository and prune old objects.
git repack -a -d --depth=250 --window=250 # It's better to use this command, because 'git gc --aggressive' is considered to be bad practice.
Delete all commit history
git checkout --orphan latest_branch # Checkout
git add -A # Add all the files to the 'current' branch
git commit -am "commit message" # Commit the changes
git branch -D main # Delete the branch 'main'
git branch -m main # Rename/move the 'current' branch to main
git push -f origin main # Finally, force update your repository

git branch -d <branch-name>
