Here is the problem:
I have a github repo that was full of unwanted data and I decided to move them aside and leave there only my code there, as this is considered a best practice.
My problem was that it took too much time to clone or to change and commit a very small file. Now that I have deleted all my data, I would like to erase them from the history of github, so that my repo becomes small again.
I've been trying various solution and none has worked. My problem is that I really don't know what files I have removed, but I just know that I want to delete the history of all files that have been deleted from my repo until now.
Is there an easy way to do this? I guess it's a very basic and elementary problem, so a solution must exist.
Thanks in advance.
