How to remove all commits in a local repository?

Question

git

Good day to all!

I have a test project called agima_test that only exists on a laptop (see screenshot below).



As part of learning Git, I committed changes to this project. Accordingly, everything was saved in the local repository.

Then in GitHub I needed to create a separate project for all test projects, called it test-mini-projects. Cloned to a folder on the laptop, then copied the agima_test project there. But alas - Source Control in VS Code did not show anything, although it should have. As if I did not add anything to the test-mini-projects project (see screenshot below).



Somehow I managed to wipe out all local commits. I do not remember exactly how - a couple of weeks passed. But when I go to the agima_test project folder, Source Control in VS Code shows me the files not added to the stage. So all the same, changes in the project continue to be tracked, but I no longer need it. I need test-mini-projects to track the added agima_test project.

What am I doing wrong? I want to understand this at an early stage.

Answer 1

Problem solved. I just made hidden files and folders visible, after which I deleted the .git folder in the agima_test project. For some reason, I didn't think of that right away.
