Cannot uninstall the plugin #214

There are no istructions on uninstallation. Doing usual delete from addon folder every time launching the project I get Cannot get class 'GitPlugin'. Received a nullptr VCS extension instance during construction. So the plugin info is still embedded into the project. How do I get rid of it?

+1! How do you uninstall? I'm getting frequent crashes on my project, and I feel it might be related. Please provide removal instructions (actually surprised this hasn't been provided already).

This is caused by a engine issue: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/22476

Disable the plugin in the Project Settings first, close the editor then remove addons/godot-git-plugin/.

If you forgot to disable the plugin in the Project Settings, edit project.godot with a text editor to remove mentions of the Git plugin while the editor is closed.

I thanks, but it's not possible to disable the plugin because it's not possible to activate it 😅

From the the instruction manual: Note: you do NOT need to manually enable the plugin in the Project > Project Settings > Plugins tab. In fact, you can't; that tab is for script-based plugins, GDExtension plugins, like this one, will be loaded automatically.

Removing the .godot/ folder (.import/ in 3.x) from the project while the editor is closed might help. This will force reimporting all resources in the project too.

Looks like the plugin adds itself into the project settings, but doesn't get removed afterwards. It needs to be done manually from Project settings > Version control.

Already done + remove .git, .gitignore in case ... nothing in app_userdata (i'm on Mac with Godot 4.1.2)

Seems, we have the culprit, thank you!!!
