There must be some quick fix but I just can't figure out how to do it:
I initialized a git repository on my local computer, but
unfortunately at the wrong place, i.e. in the wrong directory.
How can I undo this or move the working directory that my git
repository is synched with?
In my example, instead of initializing my repository
in /home/git/rep1, I initialized it in /home ... :S
What do you mean by initializing?
Did you just run `git init` in the wrong place and nothing more?
If yes, then just do
rm -rf ~/.git
and that's all there is to it: `git init` merely creates its
repository directory named .git in the current directory, which it
starts treating as the work tree.
If you've managed to add some files to it (like by doing `git add .`)
then there's nothing bad about it -- Git have just copied the contents
of those files under .git.
After you have got rid of that unneeded directory .git, just go on
and initialize a repository whereever you want it.
