Remove git repo

Question

Accidentally I've created some files in /dev/projectname/projectname

I've initiated git repo git remote add origin git@bitbucket...

then i did this from /dev:

mv projectname projectname_d
mv projectname_d/projectname projectname
rm -rf projectname_d

Then i've found out, that repo is located in /dev somehow, so if i run git status it lists all folders in /dev

How do i fix this?

Try rm -r .git from the repo root

All the information about that git repository are stored in the .git subdirectory of your project.

If you want to completely un-version a directory you should remove that subdirectory with

rm -rf .git

Running git status you'll see that that directory is "Not a git repository"
