Hi! To remove Git from your project so your professor can read it, just delete the .git folder in your project. On Windows, show hidden files to see it; on Mac/Linux, you can run rm -rf .git in the terminal. After that, your files will be normal and ready to share.

If your professor just needs to read the files, you don’t actually need to remove Git. The .git folder only stores version history — it doesn’t affect your documents.

Two simple options:

• Download as ZIP from the repository (Code → Download ZIP) and send that. The .git folder won’t be included.
• Or delete the .git folder locally (it’s hidden), then share the project folder — that just removes version control tracking.

Important: Don’t manually delete random files inside .git. Either remove the whole folder or just export as ZIP.

That should solve it 👍
