rm-ing .git isn't gonna work cuz you'll have to re-add the remotes.

Oh good point ๐Ÿคฆ

So maybe instead, we can clear all local + remote branches and tags, create a blank branch, delete main, rename the blank branch to main, then delete .git

Although the OP says that we can merge anything, and we might not have access to mess with branches

Or just git push origin --force blank:main
