There are too many changes that cannot be submitted to github. How do I clear the historical change records?

Question

As mentioned, I haven't pushed to github for half a year. Since there are several jars in it that have not been ignored, more and more, after pushing, it will report: {code...} I searched for some methods, such as changing ssh, etc., but none of them worked. , is there any simple way to discard the history and only push the current version...

I finally found a simple way. Using the filter-branch command that comes with git can filter and delete, but it is too slow. I ran it all night and it didn't end, stuck at 98% progress. Later, I found the BFG Repo-Cleaner tool and deleted it within a few minutes. The size of the .git directory was reduced from about 2.9G to 70M. I deleted all tar.gz, zip, jar, war, etc. submitted in the past. Leave the source code behind and finally push it to github.

The specific execution process is:

bfg --delete-files *.tar.gz # 后面的文件名匹配可换成自己要删除的文件名
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now --aggressive
git push --all --force
git push --all --tags --force

The specific execution process is:

bfg --delete-files *.tar.gz # 后面的文件名匹配可换成自己要删除的文件名
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now --aggressive
git push --all --force
git push --all --tags --force
