How to disable git for some project and other project not disable git in Visual Studio Code?

Question

some project i don't want use git monitoring , but in other project i want to keep use git monitoring , i use setting

"git.enabled": false,
"git.path": null,
"git.autofetch": false

but it will disable git for all project , so how to setting Visual Studio Code git for project instead of the editor?

Solution 1

You could add your git settings to the workspace settings.json file. That way, vscode would ignore git changes for only that project. Create or add to the .vscode/settings.json file.

"git.enabled": false

This way all of your other project will continue have git enabled.

Solution 2

To follow up with @alexriedl's answer, that snippet would be added into settings.json to apply for that workspace only:

{
    "git.enabled": false
}

Here's an example folder structure:

myproject/
├── .vscode/
│   ├── settings.json <----
├── html/
│   ├── index.html
│   └── 404.html
└── js/
    ├── bootstrap.js
    └── bootstrap.min.js

Solution 3

You could add * in your .gitignore file

#to ignore all project's file
*

Solution 4

A possible solution by simply using the VSCode UI:

• right click on project name
• click on "Open Folder Settings"
• open "Extensions" then "Git"
• scroll down until "Enabled - Whether git is enabled"
• uncheck it

Thank a lot for this answer. I have been looking for this everywhere

I think the correct format is: { "git.enabled": false }

And effectively disable git in that project completely, not just in VSC? Excellent idea.

OP asked how to disable, not how to remove git support.
