Is there a command to undo git init?

I just Git init'ed a repos with a wrong user, and want to undo it. Is there any command for this? Do I actually have to go in and edit the .git directory?

Solution 1:

You can just delete .git. Typically:

rm -rf .git

Then, recreate as the right user.

Solution 2:

In windows, type rmdir .git or rmdir /s .git if the .git folder has subfolders.

If your git shell isn't setup with proper administrative rights (i.e. it denies you when you try to rmdir), you can open a command prompt (possibly as administrator--hit the windows key, type 'cmd', right click 'command prompt' and select 'run as administrator) and try the same commands.

rd is an alternative form of the rmdir command. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/rmdir.mspx?mfr=true

Solution 3:

remove the .git folder in your project root folder

if you installed submodules and want to remove their git, also remove .git from submodules folders
