How to fully delete a git repository created with init?
I have a test repository on git and I want to delete it using command line. I found that
git rm <file> deleted the files within the repository and not the repository itself. Any one can help here?

Command line Git repository delete Just run the rm command with the -f and -r switch to recursively remove the . git folder and all of the files and folders it contains. This Git repo remove command also allows you to delete the Git repo while allowing all of the other files and folder to remain untouched.
On your repository list, select the GitHub repository that you want to delete. On the repository page, click on “Settings” in the menu. In the repository settings, scroll down until you see the “Danger zone“. In the “danger zone”, click on “Delete this repository“
The "rm" command helps you to remove files from a Git repository. It allows you to not only delete a file from the repository, but also - if you wish - from the filesystem.
For local repo, run
rm -r .git
You may not delete a repo remotely to github via command line.
