GitCleaner

GitCleaner is a Ruby script that helps clean Git repositories by removing all commits and creating a new initial commit. It supports both GitHub repositories and Gists.

Requirements

• Ruby 2.5 or higher
• Git

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the gitcleaner.rb file.

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x gitcleaner.rb
   

3. Install required gems:

   gem install dotenv
   

Usage

You can run GitCleaner in two ways:

1. Using command-line arguments

./gitcleaner.rb --url <repository_url> --username <your_username> --password <your_password>

Example:

./gitcleaner.rb --url https://github.com/user/repo.git --username myusername --password mypassword

2. Using a .env file

Create a .env file in the same directory as the script with the following content:

GITURL=https://github.com/user/repo.git
USERNAME=your_username
