How can I clean up my Git history?

You can clean up your Git history using commands like git rebase and git reset. What specific issues are you facing?

I want to remove some old commits that are no longer relevant.

You can use git rebase -i HEAD~n where n is the number of commits you want to go back. This will allow you to edit or remove commits.

What if I already pushed those commits to a remote repository?

If you've pushed them, you'll need to force push with git push origin branch-name --force, but be cautious as this can affect others.

Are there any risks involved in force pushing?

Yes, force pushing can overwrite changes in the remote repository, potentially causing data loss for collaborators.
