bitbucket - I made a disastrous mistake with "create git repo here" - how do I rectify/undo it?

Question

I am new to Git. I have created an account on Bitbucket and downloaded TortoiseGit.

I'm on Windows 7 and on the desktop I right clicked and thought "add git repo here" would create an empty folder that could be committed, but iy turns out it has **staged ** every folder on the desktop to be committed to master instead.

How do I undo this?

Answer 1

Make sure to turn on Show hidden files in Explorer. Then delete .git directory in your desktop
