Just remember to go through your commit history if you ever plan on making that repo public.

I commonly flatten repos (by copy and create) when I share them. Its rare that the other person needs the commit history.

I have often thought it would be nice to have a good tool to retroactively view and tidy them, but everything I've seen has not quite hit the nail on the head.

I use the Pieter Levels commit history strategy of all my commit messages being the single word "commit"
