git gitkraken

I accidentally cloned the same repository twice in GitKraken (don't ask me how, I am still learning in Git), and now it shows up twice in the repo overview. It both point to the same folder, so I cannot just delete the repo, as I would have lost the other one too. How can I remove one from the overview?

I can imagine this can also be useful for removing old repositories in GitKraken, but still have the files on your local computer.

In fact you can easily go to your %APPDATA% folder or Library folder (for MacOS) and find the .gitkraken folder. There there is a profile folder and then your profile guid folder. The directory should look something like this:

%APPDATA%\.gitkraken\profiles\<guid>
or
Users\<user>\.gitkraken\profiles\<guid>

Inside this folder you can find a localRepoCache file. Remove the entries that are duplicated, then go back to Gitkraken and add them back as needed.
