repository basics 2/3

under git basics, repository basics challenge 2/3 it asks:

"Oops! I just decided we're in the wrong folder. Let's remove the git repository we just created."

Where do i move it? do I just use the mv command?

Hi Daniel! The mv command is rename, while the question asks for it to be removed. Go to about 3:50 in the video and that should explain how to remove it.

Hope this helps! :)

Guys, sorry could you explain why isn't this command working:

$ rm -r ~/project_folder/.git/

Remove, recursively, the folder in Home/Project_Folder/.git

The video states that to remove a repository you should enter:

rm -r project_folder/.git

This did not work for me in this challenge. Instead, I used 

rm -r .git
