Hi,
Does anyone know how can i undo `git init` command ?
I’m not familiar with `git` so i don’t know if what i’m asking is even possible 🙂
Thank you in advance ❤

I found this reply on :
>
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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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