Sure, thats easy let me help u with that! If you accidentally ran git init on the wrong path, you can simply remove the Git repository by deleting the .git directory in that path. to delete it: Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you mistakenly initialized Git. Run the following command: rm -rf .git This will delete the .git directory and all of its contents, effectively removing the Git repository from that directory. Alternatively, you can also use a GUI file explorer to delete the .git directory. Just make sure that hidden files are visible in your file explorer. remember to Initializate a Git repository in the path that is inside the folder of that project (if you're doing this and also having files outside that path getting tracked I recommend reseting to default git configuration) You can reset the global Git default configuration by removing the ~/.gitconfig file in your home directory. This will erase all of your Git global settings, including your user name and email, global ignore patterns, and any custom aliases you may have set. gits is quite simple so do not worry, somethings this errors seems really though but its just bad lucky. if you have any doubts or I did'nt help u let me know! |
