title: Copy a git repo without history
body: <p>I have a private repository on GitHub that I want to make public. However, some of the initial commits contain information that I don't want to publicize (hard-coded credentials, etc).</p>
  <p>What is the easiest route to make the latest commit public (I don't really need or want the previous commits in the public repository) without including some or all of the commit history?</p>
