Removing an IntelliJ Project from Version Control

Question

Is there a way to remove version control from an IntelliJ project? I could go through the directory structure and delete all the .svn files on the command line, but I'm just wondering if there is a “right” or easier way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can better talk about your question ...

IntellJ is an IDE. If you use it to download source code from the Subversion repository, try the export command instead of checking. This will download all source files without .svn directories. Of course, you cannot check for any changes to the Subversion repository.

Open the repository browser, then right-click on the directory, and do not click the "Checkout" button below. You will see the export menu item. Select this and this will check the source from the Subversion repository without .svn folders. Of course, you cannot verify anything.

Answer 2

I assume the best way is to remove the svn configuration in the project settings:

File> Preferences, then Version Control. The list should contain a Suversion element. Try deleting this line with the "-" button on the right.

Hope this helps.

File → Settings → Version Control → select Project → Press the button (red)
