I have a local repository that I have uploaded to a remote repository.
All files were uploaded successfully, including the full history of commits. I then decided to delete that remote repository as I wanted to upload the code to a new remote repository.
I used git remote remove origin to disassociate my local repository from the first remote repository.
After I used git remote add origin <new repo url> and then git add -A and then the usual commit and push, I find that it only uploads recently modified files to the new repository, and not the full set that happened with the first remote repository upload.
My question is how do I reset what git considers has been already uploaded, so that this second remote repository can contain everything from my local repository, as it did with the first remote upload? I am looking for a solution that does not require me to manually amend each of the files that are shown up by typing git ls-files -v
I have scoured Stack Overflow and tried all of the following, but each with no success:
git add . -f (but this includes all files, including those stipulated to not be included according to .gitignore)
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged *.*
git push origin refs/remotes/origin/*:refs/heads/*
git update-index --really-refresh (but this has been reported on other sites to now not work)
Thank you for any pointers you might offer.
Ok, an update: I found that renaming the 'origin' to something else did not have the required effect. However git push -u origin --all seemed to do what I needed it to.
