# git-annex-uninit(1)

de-initialize git-annex and clean out repository

## NAME

git-annex-uninit - de-initialize git-annex and clean out repository

## SYNOPSIS

git annex uninit

## DESCRIPTION

Use this to stop using git annex. It will unannex every file in the repository, and remove all of git-annex's other data, leaving you with a git repository plus the previously annexed files.

## OPTIONS

- **--json**

  -

  Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.

-

  - **--json-error-messages**

  Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in the JSON instead.

-

  - Also the [git-annex-common-options(1)](/git-annex-common-options/1.md) can be used.
