I've been using source control on an Xcode project for awhile, but now I don't want to use source control.
How do you remove source control from a project in Xcode?

There are three ways. Method 1 will disable source control for all projects. Method 2 will delete the link to a single repository for all projects. Method 3 will remove the link to a repository for a single project. I think Method 3 is the one you are looking for.
1: Through Source Control Management Preferences
In Xcode, choose Xcode-> Preferences, then select Source Control and uncheck Enable Source Control option.
2: Go to Xcode->Preference->Accounts->Repositories and delete them.
3: You can do it manually this way: Show Hidden Files on your Mac and delete all the .svn or .git or .tf files (according to the source control) folders from the project.
Example svn directory:

This will remove the remote repository, but not remove the project from source control.

glad to hear that! @ioSana
The steps for Xcode 5 are the same as the steps for Xcode 4:
Just remove the
.gitdirectory in the project folder. You should close the project in Xcode first to be safe.

Thanks, this help me. The .git file is hidden by default, here is the commands to view them: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES. Change the YES to NO to hide them again. Also, after running the command hold the ‘option/alt’ key, and right click on the Finder icon in the dock and click Relaunch.

Command-shift '.' will show hidden folders and files in finder

Aaron Brager's answer still works in Xcode 13. It's simple to use when combined with @noelicus's comment
- Quit XCode.
- Open Terminal.
- Navigate to the root directory of the project.
- Type
find ./ -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;. - Open your project.
Your project should be disconnected from all repositories.
NOTE: The command searches for all filenames with extension .svn and removes (recursively and forcefully) all of them.

This is how I got to delete repositories in Xcode, below are the easy steps:
- Disable Source Control in your Xcode project, i.e: Xcode -> Preference -> Source Control
- Quit Xcode then
- Open Terminal and type: cd (your project root path or folder), press enter
- Type: rm -rf .git
- Close Terminal and
- Finally, Open your project in Xcode and when you re-enable your source control, you will see the old repository is deleted.

To remove the current remote just execute this command
rm -rf .git
