+### First Method
+
+Deleting the `.git` folder may cause problems in our git repository. If we want to delete all of our commits history, but keep the code in its current state, try this:
+
+```
+# Check out to a temporary branch:
+git checkout --orphan TEMP_BRANCH
+
+# Add all the files:
+git add -A
+
+# Commit the changes:
+git commit -am "Initial commit"
+
+# Delete the old branch:
+git branch -D master
+
+# Rename the temporary branch to master:
+git branch -m master
+
+# Finally, force update to our repository:
+git push -f origin master
+```
+
+This will not keep our old commits history around. **But if this doesn't work, try the next method below.**
+
+### Second Method
+
+```
+# Clone the project, e.g. `myproject` is my project repository:
+git clone https://github/heiswayi/myproject.git
+
+# Since all of the commits history are in the `.git` folder, we have to remove it:
+cd myproject
+
+# And delete the `.git` folder:
+git rm -rf .git
+
+# Now, re-initialize the repository:
+git init
+git remote add origin https://github.com/heiswayi/myproject.git
+git remote -v
+
+# Add all the files and commit the changes:
+git add --all
+git commit -am "Initial commit"
+
+# Force push update to the master branch of our project repository:
+git push -f origin master
+```
