git: Copy files to new branch without history, using a squash merge

Git: New branch with files but no history

This is how to copy your files from a given git branch to a new empty branch, using a squash merge.
This example will copy files from branch old-branch to target-branch

# First be sure, that you don't have uncommitted working changes. They will be deleted

# Checkout a new empty branch without history
git checkout --orphan target-branch
