title: How to restart git repo?
body: <p>I've fetched a repo from one of my old projects and I've edited the files so I can use this as a 'skeleton' for new projects. Say I'm here:</p>
  
  <p>/skeleton/framework</p>
  
  <p>I already have the repo there, edited. How would I go about restarting this repo with those files in that directory? What <em>should</em> I have done?</p>
  
  <p>All I did was pull the repo and edit and push to a different named repo (skeleton.git). Trouble is, this repo obviously contains all the history of the repo I pulled from.</p>
