Make Xcode 4 stop auto staging with git

I hate it that whenever I make a change in Xcode 4 it automatically does a "Git add" command开发者_开发知识库. Is there a way to make this stop?

What I do is perform all my git interaction through the command line. Since I can't get Xcode to ignore the fact that my project is under git control, and since therefore I can't get Xcode to stop doing git add for every new file I create, when I get to the command line the first thing I do is git reset to reset the index. This undoes all the annoying git add stuff that Xcode did automatically. Now I'm in charge of what goes into the index and so I get to form my own commits the way I want.

For Xcode 6 this is not an issue anymore. Visit Preferences -> Source Control tab and turn off 'Add and remove files automatically' checkbox

No. Xcode 4's git integration is "broken" in that they tried to present a uniform interface to source control regardless of whether the back-end is git or svn. That means they're supporting only the lowest common denominator of functionality. As a result, use of the index (the "staging area") is out. It always does auto-adds no matter whether you want it to or not.

EDIT: Actually, I don't think it auto-adds. I think it always does commit -a. Looking at git status on the command line shows me many new and modified files that are NOT staged. But I'm sure if I committed with Xcode they'd all end up in that commit.

For me, the solution was this one https://stackoverflow.com/a/6378745/1078859

TL;DR; remove the repository from xcode's organizer

While the question title says XCode 4 this question appears at the top for many search results related to this issue even in newer versions of XCode. Here is an answer that addresses newer versions of XCode. In XCode 6 you can turn off version control by going to XCode --> Preferences --> Source Control Tab and uncheck Enable Source Control.
