How To Remove Git From Project?

It is sometimes necessary to remove Git from the project folder. Git when initialized in a folder, creates a folder inside the project folder named .git which is initially hidden. On removing this folder, Git is removed from the project.

Scope

We will discuss various ways to remove Git from project such as using the command line, Git bash, or VS Code.
We will also discuss how to remove Git from the computer, remove user details from the local Git repo, and remove the Git remote origin URL.

Introduction

It is important to remove unused Git repositories from the project when they are no longer needed. In some situations, we may wish to remove Git from the project and want Git to stop tracking it.

When we initialize a folder or project as a Git repository, Git creates a folder .git which is hidden by default. This folder contains all the versions and information of the Git repository. It also helps Git recognize it as a Git repository.

Deleting its contents and the folder will no more tell Git that it is a Git repository. It will not affect the files in the folder. It is risky and must be done with utmost care. It should only be performed on the repository which will be surely not used in the future.

Let us first create a Git repository using Git Bash or Visual Studio or a similar command line that supports Git. We will use the git init command to initialize a folder as a Git repository. Open the desired folder path in the command line. We have a few existing files initially in the folder.

The git init command initializes it as a Git repository. If we go to the folder now and hidden files are visible we will see a .git folder as follows:

There are various ways of removing this .git folder from the project folder or the repository. Let us have look at them individually in detail.

How to Remove Git from the Project?

To remove Git from project we can remove the .git folder using the Git command.

The Git command rm -rf is used, rm removes a file from Git, and the -rf option of this command removes files recursively and forcefully. .git* removes the folder starting with .git .

As we can see, when we ask for the status of Git it returns that it is not a Git repository.

We can also delete Git from a project simply using cmd as well. Command del /F /S /Q /A .git can be used in this case to remove the .git folder.

In the example above, we initialize a folder as a Git repository. After using the del /F /S /Q /A .git command we see a list of files that are being removed from the folder. And now when we use the git status command, we see a message that it is no more a Git repository. Note that none of the files of the project are touched only Git's file only.

How to Remove Git from Project VS Code?

In VS Code as well, we are using Git commands to remove git from project. Thus, we can use the same Git command rm -rf .git or rmdir .git to remove Git from the project folder.

How to Remove Git from the Computer?

Git is an application installed manually on our computer. To remove it from the PC follow the following steps:

Open the control panel from the start menu.

Select the Uninstall a program

Look for Git in the options, and double-click on it. It will display a dialog asking for permission. If you wish to uninstall Git, press on YES else you can exit by clicking on NO.

How to Remove a Git User from the Terminal?

Git user can be set using the following commands:

Username and email can be checked using the following commands

Now to remove user details we use the unset commands as given below:

Have a look at the example, we first set the username, and then we unset it. After the unset command when we request user.name it displays nothing.

How to Delete a Git Repository?

Delete Git repo locally

Deleting the Git repository locally is not very tricky. We are only supposed to delete the initialized or cloned Git repository.

Every Git repository has a hidden folder called .git . To view this folder in the file explorer we are required to display the hidden files.

Steps to Delete a Local Git Repo

To delete the local Git repository or in simpler words stop Git from tracking the project we are required to follow the steps below:

To remove Git from project, open the local Git repository's root folder in the file explorer.
Delete the hidden .git folder by right-clicking on it and selecting the delete option.
Now the Git is removed from the project folder. To verify we can go to Git bash and open the folder to run the git status command. We will get an error saying fatal: not a git repository .

Command Line Git Repository Delete

To delete the .git folder using the command line, we can use the rm -fr .git or rmdir .git commands. It will delete the folder .git along with all of its components in one go.

Verify Git Repo is Removed

Lastly, to verify that the project folder is no more a Git repository we can use the git status command. If the directory is a Git repository, it will show the status of the repository else it will show an error saying it is not a Git repository.

How to Remove the Remote Origin URL?

Git remote command lets us create, view, delete, and update the remote repository. The repository is stored remotely and is updated periodically by the project team members individually. If the repository is locally stored, it is difficult to work parallelly on different features of the same project which is why a remote repository is preferred.

The remote origin URL is a URL to the repository. Git remote command can also be used to remove the remote origin URL. We can either modify this URL or we can remove the URL.

Remove git integrations from VSCode

I downloaded Visual Studio Code to try out at work and I’m in love with almost everything about it. One part I am not in love with though: Git integration.

I imported my entire working folder (

14000 source files + git items), and the layout and everything within Visual Studio Code is awesome. I moved from our traditional code editor to this, because it seemed to work a lot better for me.

My main issue though, is if I am working in a file and save it, Visual Studio Code freezes up for roughly 30-60 seconds. At first I was confused, but then I noticed that the Git tab was «working.» From my best guess, after I save a file it is traversing all

14000 files and doing something — I’m not sure what. Does anyone know if there is a way to remove Git integration from VSC, or at least have it ignore doing whatever it thinks it is doing?

But where is the settings.json file?

go file>prefrences>settings and search and find «git enabled» and uncheck it

go file>prefrences>settings and search and find «git enabled» and uncheck it

This works. Vscode is much smoother now. Thx

go file>prefrences>settings and search and find «git enabled» and uncheck it

@sametcanvenedik it’s working alot smoother now thank you.
