I found this reply on :

PS C:\Users\HP\Desktop\my-app> rm -rf node_modules Remove-Item : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'rf'. At line:1 char:4 + rm -rf node_modules + ~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Remove-Item], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

You’re running rm -rf in powershell, which doesn’t have rm. You can use del .
It worked, but is there any other way that is more elegant and reasonable ? something that mosh might explained in his GIT course ?

Just delete the .git directory.

When i delete .git this is what i get.

[SAM]

If that’s not what you expected try deleting .gitignore also.

[A100D-JS]

So i did rm -force .git and it worked

But in his git course is it going to be like this ? Windows users must suffer finding the right command ?
For instance mosh uses open .git and .git directory will show up, but didn’t say what windows users should do, I knew that the equivalent of open in mac is start in windows, but what if someone doesn’t know and get frustrate to continue the course ?

I have no idea what you are talking about but someone who wants to program a computer should first be able use it.

but didn’t say what windows users should do

Mosh says “and if you’re on Windows you can open it with ‘Windows Explorer’ or ‘File Explorer’ - I’m not sure what it’s called these days” - so he does says what windows users should do. Regardless, someone who wants to become a software developer should be able to do every day tasks like listing the contents of a directory on his/her own.

I recently switched to linux - zorin os kernal. I love it, and highly reccomend it. It’ll save you a lot of head ache.

[A100D-JS]

What you’re saying is true but since it’s a comprehensive course and most of the work gets done on the cmd i want to know what is the command line to use not using File Explorer.
Or he could at least create a cheatsheet to differentiate mac commands from windows such as ls which is for mac and dir for windows.

I wasn’t able to find the answer on the web i just figured it out myself and it’s fine but i purchased the course to save time and learn fast

So I am curious, what was your solution?

Just look at the picture i’ve sent

To delete a git repository (that means the folder is no longer a git repository)
$ rm -rf .git
