Answer 1

Faced the same problem in Xcode 4.6.1 after moving my folder and xcodeproj file. Here's what works for me:

1. Delete corresponding repository in Organizer
2. Close Xcode
3. Delete the original .git directory
4. git init in the new directory where you placed the folder and xcodeproj file, and do an initial commit
5. Start Xcode

Answer 2

In order to do anything in Git, you have to have a Git repository. This is where Git stores the data for the snapshots you are saving.

so just go into your project directory let say you have a project name test_project just go into that directory and type the command

git init

and this will work.

Answer 3

Perform these two steps in Xcode 11, to get rid of this error:

1. In the menu, select Source Control > Create Git Repositories.
2. Click on the Create button.

Answer 4

Go to Organizer->Repositories and remove the Corresponding repository.

Answer 5

Had the same problem. I copied a project then tried to delete files.

If you want to be able to edit the project, type git init folder in the terminal. This will re-initialize the git in your folder.
