A repo to store some build caches of the Open Food Facts taxonomies (when GitHub cache is not the right option) for product opener (aka open food facts server).
The mechanism is explained here.
To do this I used git rebase to get rid of old history. The overall process was as follows:
Checkout the repository locally and run:
git rebase -i --root
You can then interactively edit the rebase file, changing pick to drop for all of the older put_to_cache ... commits. I kept the commits to the LICENCE and README.md.
You may get an issue if not all README.md commits are included, like this:
CONFLICT (modify/delete): README.md deleted in HEAD and modified in 2bdb4533 (doc: Add repo doc (#2)). Version 2bdb4533 (doc: Add repo doc (#2)) of README.md left in tree.
error: could not apply 2bdb4533... doc: Add repo doc (#2)
hint: Resolve all conflicts manually, mark them as resolved with
hint: "git add/rm <conflicted_files>", then run "git rebase --continue".
hint: You can instead skip this commit: run "git rebase --skip".
hint: To abort and get back to the state before "git rebase", run "git rebase --abort".
I resolved this by checking the content of README.md and after verifying it was all OK I ran:
git add README.md
git rebase --continue
Finally push the revised commit history back to the origin with:
git push -f
