At first, I made a shallow-clone. After this, I found some old commits introducing some large files. For example, these old commits replaced a binary file again and again.
Now, I didn't want my local reposiotry containing these big changes. How can I shorten the history without recreating a new repository with git clone --depth=10
?
# shallow clone
git clone --depth 100 ssh://git@10.7.222.111:/home/my_repository01.git
git log --oneline | wc -l # the result is 100
# Now, how can I shorten the current history to 10?
# Otherwise, I need to execute `git clone --depth=10` to recreate the repository.
You can use git fetch --depth=10
to update the current shallow depth.
