How to delete my local cloned Bitbucket repository

[Ned Tennant]

I initially cloned our Bitbucket "master" branch to my local directory.

I want to delete that cloned "master" repository and create an new "dev" branch repository.

I used the following command:  git branch -d sw_repo

And got the following response:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /proj/new2)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

HI @Ned Tennant

Use git rm <File_dir Name>

To create new repo use...

git branch <branch_name> : It will create new branch.

or

git checkout -b <branch_name> : it will create a new branch and switch to that branch.

To know the current branch use..

git branch

Hello,

According to the message you are not executing the command inside the git repository. You should be inside the repository folder, when you execute the command. Use the "cd" command to move to the repository folder.
