The machine spirit requires that you submit the correct incantations

like this?

# Let Git take a rest with some yummy awk chocolate logs with delicious nuts and seeds, and don't be pushy!
git reset --hard $(git log --reverse | sed -n 1p | awk -F "[ ]" '{print $2}') && git push -f

EDIT: Don't actually run it.

Can you explain what this does? I’m thinking something along the lines of reverting all commits except the very first one?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You are correct! It sets HEAD to the first commit and then force pushes, deleting everything after HEAD.

Though, it only affects the currently selected branch.
