How to reset "local" git repository?
git
Solution
You could just delete your .git folder and start again.
rm -rf .git
git init
This will leave the current .gitignore in place, which would still be followed by the new git repo. The .gitignore could be removed, or delete the contents so it is a blank file.
Problem
I was trying to ignore some folders when pushing and ended up with only the `.gitignore` in the repository. Now want to "reset" my repository (by reset I mean to remove all the rules I applied and clean the commit area), so that I can add all my files and remove the folders I don't want after that. Any help?
