gitgithubgit-untracked

All my personal files are listed as untracked files


I don´t remember but I must have done git init in my personal file (C:\Users\lucas).

I want to upload a project to github. That project is in C:\Users\lucas\Desktop\project but for some reason VSCode tells me that every file in C:\Users\lucas are listed as untracked files.

I couldn't find the .git file in C:\Users\lucas but through PowerShell using cd .git I could access it. I tried to delete it but there are some files in there.

Should I delete this folder or does it contain important information? Is it supposed to exist a .git file in there?

Thanks!


Solution

  • You initiated repository in your C:\Users\lucas.

    Go to settings, set invisible files and folders to visible, delete .git folder

    navigate to C:\Users\lucas\Desktop\project in terminal and run git init from there
