How do I remove multiple git source controls from my project?

Question

I was dragging some files from an Xcode project to a new Xcode project. Then I notice on the new Xcode project. There're now 2 source controls listed, one from the first Xcode project. The delete keyword is greyed when I right click on it.

How do I remove the git reference from the first Xcode project?

Weird af. All I had to do was move the new Xcode project to any other folder. Then the extra working copy reference disappears.

Check if you have dragged also a .git subfolder: that would explain the second repo being "created/visible" after your file move operation.

Removing that extra .git subfolder in your second directory (the one created by the move) should be enough to resolve the situation.

I only see 1 .git folder that belongs to the new project. I can't find anything related to previous Xcode

@TyrantBoy Yes: you should see only one .git for the new project. Maybe you ca n try and close XCode, move your original project elsewhere (with its nested .git folder) ,reopen XCode.

@TyrantBoy is the delete option which is grayed the one you see in sunzala.com/2017/10/27/use-github-xcode-9-0 (search for "delete" in that page)
