Git Problem Overview

I have Initialized a git repository and have made some commit in that now for some reason I do not want to track any files in it and want to remove git from my local repo. Is there some way I can Uninitialize it?

Git Solutions

Solution 1 - Git

git stores all the repository related data in a folder named ".git" inside your repository folder. So you just want to keep your files but change it into a "not-git-repository". Warning: this is irreversible!

cd path/to/repo
rm -rf .git

The only files that might remain are hidden ".gitignore" files (but only if you added them yourself or using some tool like eclipse). To remove them:

find . -name ".gitignore" | xargs rm

Solution 2 - Git

Just deleting the .git directory stored in the repository will pretty much do it.

Solution 3 - Git

Go to "File Explorer Options" in the control panel, there go to "View" and check the option that allows you to see the hidden folders.

Then go to the folder where you want to un-initialize the git repository and you will find a folder called ".git" (it will be slightly faded since it's a hidden folder).

Deleting this folder will do the trick.

Solution 4 - Git

go to the folder where you initialized git ,check on the hidden files we can see .git file deleting that file solves our problem
