How to fully delete a git repository created with init?

I have a test repository on git and I want to delete it using command line. I found that git rm <file> deleted the files within the repository and not the repository itself. Any one can help here?

Solution 1

For local repo, run

rm -r .git

You may not delete a repo remotely to github via command line.

Solution 2

try

rm -r .git

from the root of the repository.

Thank you for your answer. What do you mean with You may not delete a repo remotely to github via command line. ? We shouldn't delete the repository locally first ? Or on GitHub first ?
