1. Which files and directories belong to Git

Git keeps history and build in folders .git and files .git...♪ There's only a folder. .gitat the root of your project. If there's submodules in it, there's also a file. .gitmodules in the root and files .git Somewhere in the folders.

- .gitmodules
- .gitignore
- .gitattributes
- пустая-папка/
  - .gitkeep
- ещё-папка/и-ещё/внутри/
  - .git
  - .gitignore
  - тут-файлы-и-папки-субмодуля

Windows, cmd.exe

(laughs) https://stackoverflow.com/a/36945328/2790048 )

cd path\to\project
del /F /S /Q /A .git
rmdir .git

Windows, through the wire

1. Turn on the display of hidden files and files.

2. Open your project folder, find a search field:

   

3. Get in there. filename:.git, wait for the end of the search:

   

   Note that other types of search work worse: name:.git includes such files source.git.cs♪ ext:.git not including catalogue .gitJust .git includes a slow and unnecessary search for the contents of the files

4. Now you can choose the git files and remove them. All Found files. It's not going to hurt you.

3. How to get a new copy of the project without a version

Maybe you just need a copy of the project that doesn't have a version. This is a good git-archive for:

git archive master --format zip --output path/to/archive.zip 

The archive.zip received can be transferred and unpacked by receiving a new project without a version.

The submodules are not packed.
