You'd have to rewrite the history as to never having committed those files in the first place, yes.

And then politely ask all your coworkers to reset their working environments to the "new" head of the branch, same as the old head but not quite.

Chaos ensues. Sirens in the distance wailing.

Rewrite history? Difficult.

Start a new project and nuke the old one? Finger guns.

History is written by the victors. The rest of us have to nuke the project and start over.

If this was committed to a branch would doing a squash merge into another branch and then nuking the old one not do the trick?

[–] Backfire 13 points 7 months ago

Yes, that would do the trick
