I have Initialized a git repository and have made some commit in that now for some reason I do not want to track any files in it and want to remove git from my local repo. Is there some way I can Uninitialize it?

Go to "File Explorer Options" in the control panel, there go to "View" and check the option that allows you to see the hidden folders. Then go to the folder where you want to un-initialize the git repository and you will find a folder called ". git" (it will be slightly faded since it's a hidden folder).
Initializing a new repository: git init To create a new repo, you'll use the git init command. git init is a one-time command you use during the initial setup of a new repo. Executing this command will create a new . git subdirectory in your current working directory.
Right-click the project in the Project Explorer panel and then choose Source Control > Delete Repository from the context menu.
git stores all the repository related data in a folder named ".git" inside your repository folder. So you just want to keep your files but change it into a "not-git-repository". Warning: this is irreversible!
cd path/to/repo rm -rf .git The only files that might remain are hidden ".gitignore" files (but only if you added them yourself or using some tool like eclipse). To remove them:
find . -name ".gitignore" | xargs rm Just deleting the .git directory stored in the repository will pretty much do it.
