LKBEN11577: Howto remove a git remote without deleting any local data.
Symptom
You need to disconnect from the remote git repository but want to keep a local git.
Cause
You don't want to git pull and git push anymore.
Solution
To detach from a remote git repository, you can use the following commands:
First we show the remote so we can test afterwards:
git remote -v
git remote remove origin
In case your remote is not named "origin", you should use your <remote_name> which you can check in your config file or with the first command.
After the remove command, you can check with the first command if everything worked fine.
Your local git copy will stay, no data should be lost.
You can also edit the ".git/config" file, but it is safer to use a command.
Have fun.
