What happened to the Git commit history?

Open Darthagnon opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I forked to my own account and cloned locally. Seeing you updated, I looked to update my fork, but I'm seeing this

Fork_mtphL9GStG

Not sure how to synchronise or what I should do...

Are they the same commits, same files, but with different details?

Would it also be worth cross-linking in a footer in the Readme to Nulash's CPython, another Win7-compatible Python 3 build?

I've been force-pushing every time I make updates. There's not much sense in keeping history for binary files, and I want to prevent the repository from growing too big. You can update a fork by following the instructions at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9646167/clean-up-a-fork-and-restart-it-from-the-upstream.
