How would I turn off the Git Manager so it is no longer tracking changes to my site?
I don't think you can just turn it on and off at will. You either use it or you don't.
To remove it completely 'I think' you need to delete the .Git hidden folder.
Make sure you back up first as I have never done this myself. I would avoid doing it.
Actually thinking about it, Git should only track changes if you commit. So just don't commit to Git? Curious, why do you want to stop using Git?
Thanks, I don't use the feature as a single person not in a team environment. - I pressed the Create Repository Button just to see the result, Wappler set up a local repository & now performance is quite slow.
Correct.
Just for perspective, I am a solo developer and could not manage my app effectively without git.

Solo here as well, I have no idea how to use branches in Git but the peace of mind I get for backups is worth it. Saved me a few times. Wish I knew how to use it fully.

You don't need a team to use Git, as the simplest you can use Git for is version control. So you can just commit changes after the changes you make (for example daily or on bigger changes) and then if needed just restore the previous version.

I'm a solo user and wouldn't dream of not using git. It's my backup, my version control, my reminder of what I did and when, etc. And I don't notice any performance hit by using it. To me it's a no brainer.

My only issue with Git is that I get an error popup that says something like "tags already exist" every time I publish. Haven't figured out how to stop it. Like @brad, I don't use it to it's full potential as a solo developer, but I like the backup piece of mind. I also use Carbon Copy Cloner to back up my wappler projects to Dropbox.
