    Since it will rewrite all SHA1 for the current project and the new one, the safest course of action would be:

    • create 2 new projects
    • push 2 local projects to the new GitHub projects
    • alert everyone who has already forked your current GitHub project
    • delete the current GitHub project.
      Go to the repository homepage → Admin → Delete this repository
      (note: Deleting a private repo will delete all forks of the repo. Deleting a public repo will not.)
