You can always just reset your git history:

$ git reset [your first commit hash]
$ git add .
$ got commit -m "Collapse git history"
$ git push -f

You'd have to collapse all branches not just one, and remove all tags, in order to clear the whole graph.

And of course you have to be allowed to – GitHub can have protected branches, protected tags, and force push protection.

Assuming you're the repo owner and can do all that it still would't affect other people's already existing clones, only new clones.
