    First checkout to the commit, which you want to make as the initial commit. Then run the following commands :

    ```
    git checkout --orphan temp_branch
    git add -A
    git commit -am "Initial commit message"
    git branch -D main
    git branch -m main
    git push -f origin main
    git gc — aggressive — prune=all # remove the old files
    ```

    The above commands will force fully push the current source code to `main` branch as the first command.
    Note : You should delete all other branches and tags, because it may still contain the old history.
