If you don't need anything from the repo - just delete it and create again. If there's something from the very first commits that you need - create a new branch from the commit you need. And you can archive the old branch then.

I don't know exactly what you're asking, but if you want to reset the git repository just delete the .git directory
rm -rf .git
Next, re-initialize git with git init and define the upstream Github repository. In case you're using the same repo as before, push with the force flag git push -f.
