Re: [git-users] Remove .git folder from Master Repo

[Nelson Efrain A. Cruz]

Hi.
Whenever you clone (git clone) a git repo you get a repository, this means
that you can't use git init because it's already a repo and you will have
the .git folder. Now what you may want it's to discard the repo history,
it's that what you want?

git clone effectively does the following:

mkdir projectdir
cd projectdir
git init
git remote add origin projecturl
git fetch origin
git checkout -b master origin/master

(of course, it's a bit more complicated, but it comes down to this)

As you see, there is a "git init" there, which, among other things, create
the .git directory.

Well for some reason it has added itself to my github repo and I would like 
to get rid of it but don't know how as per my initial post.

Any ideas?

How do you know it is added if GitHub does'n show it?

GitHub doesn't hide hidden files from its listing (see the .travis.yml file
in this repo[1] for an example.)

Also note that you can't actually add the .git folder to your history: the
command ”git add .git" doesn't do anything.
