I accidentally created a Git repository in my home folder. I was wondering what's the best way to remove the repository and it never happening again.

  • This the mistake i was doing i was not moving to the project dirctory "If you have a project directory that is currently not under version control and you want to start controlling it with Git, you **first need to go to that project’s directory**. If you’ve never done this, it looks a little different depending on which system you’re running:” Excerpt From Pro Git Scott Chacon This material may be protected by copyright." – Fahad Jul 19 '22 at 22:55

    Not a big mistake. If you've run `git init` in a directory where subdirectory `.git/` already exists — nothing happens, nothing to fix. If you've run `git init` in a directory where `.git/` doesn't exist — also not a major problem; just do `rm -rf .git` and go on. – phd Jul 19 '22 at 23:52

happened to me as well, type this in the same directory. just make sure you make a new folder next time before git init

rm -rf .git
cdub
