I've just found out that my home directory is under the supervision of Git, i.e. there's a .git
folder in my home directory.
My questions are:
Is it normal that my home directory is under Git?
If it is not normal:
what's your advisable way of removing it from the supervision of Git? Should I just remove the
.git
folder?What could have caused it to become a git repository?
Is it a good idea to have it under Git?
It was basically Intellij who made me notice this, because it tells me:
18:10 Unregistered VCS root detected The directory /Users/cell is under Git, but is not registered in the > Settings.
where clearly /Users/cell
is my home directory.
It also tells me "Unregistered VCS root" and is doing some work in the background...
I've just Intellij because I wanted to start learning Scala, so the only thing I installed before creating a new project was to install the Scala plugin.
