Why is my git terminal stuck on a master branch?

Question

Am hoping to get some answers to my git problem here. My terminal for whatever reason is stuck on this master branch that I didn't even initiate. Why is that? I've uninstalled and reinstalled git several times, but it's still showing the same. enter image description here

Answer 1

Whenever you initialize a git repo, you drop a hidden.git file inside the directory you put it in. It's possible your dropped a repo in a folder from a while ago and still have an existing.git file. You could run an ls -lisah or dir /a:h (or just.g tab complete) in order to check and then you can delete the.git file.

Answer 2

Uninstalling Git won't delete all your repos, and it looks like you did git init in your home directory, so Git's all set up to track absolutely everything. rm -rf.git to remove the repo.
