TortoiseGit - how to remove User profile directory as repository?
Before I switched to TortoiseGit, I used TortoiseSVN, which i like.
I could create a folder anywhere, then checkout (clone) repository inside it, then create another folder on other place, and checkout other repo there.
Recently, I switched to TortoiseGit, which i cant understand at this moment... On my desktop, all files & folders are shown as if they were already a clone of something:
I haven't chosen my desktop to be a repository anywhere during installation or setting, but seems that my c:usersmy_user folder is marked for versioning.
So, how can I remove/unmark that?
svn tortoise-git

I suppose you opened the context menu on your desktop and selected "Create git repository here...".
TortoiseGit makes the current folder a working tree whereas TortoiseSVN creates a new folder and puts the new repository into that folder. Therefore, create an empty folder first and then create a repository there.
You can fix this by deleting git .git directory (might be hidden).

Method A) manually delete that hidden folder from windows explorer.
or
Method B) you can use cmd command (just change username):
rmdir /S /Q "C:Usersmy_user.git"
