Remove git from project xcode

Question

I have created a project with git many years ago. But it doesn't contain all the files. Currently I would like to add all files of that project to git with a new account. But while trying to commit it says "The repository is locked". After doing a research I found need to remove.git folder from project so I ran rm -f.git/index.lock . But unable to remove the existing git from project. How can I delete the existing git from project.

Edit

Iam able to delete the git folder now and create a new git. But two separate repositories are create (one for the project) and other for Pods. How to create a single repository for the whole project

Answer 1

Best way is to remove git from the project and then re-initalize it.

rm -rf .git*

Then

git init
git add *
