I have a Git repository that I want to remove all previous commits from.
Cause I tested to commit junk files, now I want to "start over" with the repository.
Is this possible?

A:
Just delete the .git directory and 'git init' again to begin anew.
If you had done any configuration in the repo, you can always make a backup of the .git/config before removing the .git.

+1, this is the whole *point* of git. See Linus' talk on why he created it.

A:
Why not just delete the folder that contains the repository and create a new one?
If you want to save the latest versions of the files, you can just delete the directory .git within the top-level directory of the repository.
If you want to save some other version of the files, check out that version first, then delete .git.
