I'm trying to reset my Git because I'm having all kinds of problems. It would not allow me to push several large files to my remote and I don't know how to delete them from the commit. I don't recall even committing the files.
my remote is: pmp_staging
kjlin@LAPTOP-BU6U18C6 MINGW64 /c/wamp64/www/postmyproject (master)<br>
$ git push pmp_staging master<br>

remote: please remove these files from your source, re-commit, and push...
To git.wpengine.com:staging/postmyproject2.git
! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to'[email protected]:staging/postmyproject2.git'<br>
I couldn't figure out how to remove these files from the original commit. I tried moving the head back to the origin but can't seem to get rid of them. Instead, I'd like to start fresh. I just want my Git remote to match my local so I can start practicing pushes and commits. Everything I look for on stack overflow doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!
I usedrm -rf .git to delete my entire git repository.
I had to restart and followed the directions in WPengine's GIT Page
I had initially setup an SSH for WPengine.com using Git Hub's help. This allowed me to get my SSH key and input it into my install on WPengine.com.
After that I had to follow the directions carefully. I downloaded a zipped install and pasted into my local WAMP folder. Logged into GIT Bash and setup the SSH under my /c/wamp64/www/my_install/ folder.
I had to download and setup the .gitignore file that allows for Wordpress Core changes because we've actually edited some of those files for object oriented programming.
I then simply followed WPengine's protocol:
$ cd ~/wordpress/my_wp_install_name
$ git init .
$ git add . --all
$ git commit -m "initial commit..."
I must have intially forgot to 'add . --all'.
Setup my install to remote to my Staging:
$ cd /c/wamp64/www/my_install
$ git remote add staging [email protected]:staging/my_install.git
I then deployed to my remote:
$ git push staging master
So far GIT is working until I screw it up next time.
