Git in terminal

Question

I tried making my first repo on github. I copy pasted their code while on the directory of my entire system (I think that was a mistake). As a result, the terminal line always says ~ git:(master) ✗ before every command. It does not go away even when I quit terminal. I am using zsh. The code I pasted was:

touch README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/***/***.git
git push -u origin master

On top of that, I can't even seem to figure out how to add my files to the repo. Help on how to not always have git:(master) before every bash command and how to make a repo? Thanks!

Answer 1

deleting .git in usr/username did the trick for me. I was using Oh My ZSH

Answer 2

Do you mean you executed git init in / directory? If so, maybe just delete it (rm -rf /.git)?

If you want to create a repo just a create a directory and execute git init inside that directory.

Answer 3

You can un-init a git repository by simply erasing it. It's all in the .git directory of when you typed the git init command.

You can add files to the repo by using git add, but you'd better sort out the “my whole system is under git” issue first.
