DVC has Git hooks which are installed with dvc install. The hooks were working fine but after an error with dvc push and the DVC remote, I cannot git push because before git push gets executed, dvc push runs and generates an error. Which means I can't push.
How can I disable DVC Git hooks so that I won't face the issue anymore?
All installed git hooks will be inside .git/hooks. Your problem is with the pre-push hook:
$ ls .git/hooks
applypatch-msg.sample post-checkout pre-commit pre-push pre-push.sample prepare-commit-msg.sample
commit-msg.sample post-update.sample pre-commit.sample pre-rebase.sample update.sample
fsmonitor-watchman.sample pre-applypatch.sample pre-merge-commit.sample pre-receive.sample
Remove that and you will be fine:
$ rm -rf .git/hooks/pre-push
Note that other hooks like dvc checkout for git checkout still work. If you want to disable all hooks, not just dvc-installed, you can run:
$ rm -rf .git/hooks/*
