Github - How local repo know that remote has been deleted?


I pushed project to remote git repo. Now I deleted the remote repo. But when I make changes in local repo, it shows files that are changes. I think my local repo does not know that remote repo is deleted.

How can I reset local repo, so that Source control shows no files are changed?


Solution

  • Enter the following into the command line, within the project folder:

    $ rm -rf .git
    

    Or to delete .gitignore and .gitmodules if any

    Then from the same ex-repository folder, to see if hidden folder .git is still there:

    $ ls -lah
