Answer 1

Few options:

• Go to the server repository, delete the old repo and create a new one.
  In the current repo push the new branches

• Create a new orphan branch and then push it.
  Now on your server run git gc --aggressive --prune=now to clean all the old commits

• Use filter branch to clean all the old content

• Use rebase -i and squash all your commits into one then push it

• Use git subtree' split to create a new project from the existing code.Similar togit filter-tree` which in your with the right code will produce the same results.
