How to remove origin from git repository

Question

Basic question  How do I disassociate a git repo from the origin from which it was cloned   git branch -a shows     master   remotes origin HEAD - gt  origin master   and I want to remove all knowledge of origin  and the associated revisions   Longer question  I want to take an existing subversion repo and make a number of smaller git repos from it  Each of the new git repos should have the full history of just the relevant branch  I can prune the repo to just the wanted subtree using   git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter path to subtree HEAD   but the resulting repo still contains all the revisions of the now-discarded subtrees under the origin master branch   I realise that I could use the -T flag to git-svn to clone the relevant subtree of the subversion repo in the first place  I m not sure if that would be more efficient than later running multiple instantiations of git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter on copies of the git repo but  in any case  I would still like to break the link with the origin

Remove existing origin and add new origin to your project directory   gt   git remote show origin   gt   git remote rm origin   gt   git add     gt   git commit -m  First commit    gt   git remote add origin Copied origin url   gt   git remote show origin   gt   git push origin master

Fairly straightforward    git remote rm origin     As for the filter-branch question - just add --prune-empty to your filter branch command and it ll remove any revision that doesn t actually contain any changes in your resulting repo   git filter-branch --prune-empty --subdirectory-filter path to subtree HEAD
