How to roll back to the very first commit?

Question

git

How do I roll back to the very first commit without copying its hash.
You clone the repository and there +100500 commits and scroll to the very first one in the console to copy its hash - not a cake. Is there such a universal command?

Answer 1

and the religion does not allow saving in the log file?
in essence, redirect the output to tail and specify the -n N switch, as a result you will get the last N commits
git log --pretty=oneline | tail -n 1

Answer 2

Old repository:
Copy to buffer the URL in the fetch line
Create a new repository:

git init
git remote add scratch <remote-github-url>
git fetch scratch
git cherry-pick <FIRST-COMMIT-SHA1>
git remote remove scratch (опционально)
