Solution 1:[1]

A local git repository is just a regular folder, which contains a hidden .git/ folder.

Delete the .git/ folder from your home folder, and you will be good to go.

Solution 2:[2]

remove .git repo from the working directory. (sometimes you might have initialized a git repository on your home directory, where all your changes might being tracked.)
