VSCode Flutter - stop tracking Flutter repo changes

Question

I can't figure out when this started, but suddenly I find my repo tracking all my changes just fine, but...

There's another repo open - like the entire Flutter source - and my source control is tracking thousands of changes.

Is there some easy way to turn this off? I can't seem to find it.

TIA

No. I really like Flutter, but I ended up doing a pure web app instead. Sorry. — Bill Noel, Apr 04 '21 at 17:48

The solution is to add the path to the flutter repo to the "git.ignoredRepositories" list either in the user or workspace settings.

"git.ignoredRepositories": [
        "/path/to/flutter"
    ]

I had to reload/restart the vscode window for it to take effect.

An alternative is to change git.AutoRepositoryDetection from true to subFolders. This will keep scanning the current folder and sub folders but avoids tracking flutter.

Works flawlessly, unfortunately needs a restart in vscode – Kohls Oct 22 '21 at 20:11

"git.autoRepositoryDetection": false. Even simpler as you don't need path – David May 12 '22 at 11:51
i hate vscode. how to do without it? – stackunderflow Jun 12 '22 at 13:12
@David this is not a good idea because usually users want git repos within the workspace folder to be detected. – felix-ht Jun 13 '22 at 14:15

In VS Code hit Ctrl+Shift+P
Type and select User Settings
In the search field enter git.AutoRepositoryDetection
select field to false
