How to deactivate the Xcode git feature? (remove git integration)

My Xcode project is on git, but I don't like the XCode git integration and sometime, I have errors coming from Xcode

So I would like to completely remove that feature of XCode. I tried to remove the repository in Organizer->Repository (but after a while, it comes up again).

Any idea?

Solution

  • It's unsupported, but it has appeared to work fine for me in the past:

    • Quit Xcode
    • Remove this bundle from its folder: Xcode.app/Contents/Plugins/IDEGit.ideplugin or change the bundle's extension.
    • Restart Xcode

    This disables the extension which provides git support in Xcode. You can still use Git for version control -- just not in Xcode.
