Is there a command to undo git init?
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
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
Git keeps all of its files in the .git directory. Just remove that one and init again.

You can just delete .git. Typically:
rm -rf .git
Then, recreate as the right user.
