Searching for uninstall package control on Google, only results showing how to install packages with Package Control, or remove them, but not removing Package Control itself.

How can I remove Package Control from Sublime-Text-3?

Removing ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Package Control.sublime-package should do it.

(Thus just reversing the 'Manual installation' described in https://packagecontrol.io/installation)

UPDATE: More complete instructions can be found at the official docs (thanks @BartaTamás): https://packagecontrol.io/docs/troubleshooting#Purging_Old_Versions

    Thanks! This should work (I already succeeded to remove it). I don't know why I didn't think of looking at the manual installation section. However there is also a section called Purging Old Versions in the docs of Package Control. I'm not surprised I didn't find it earlier with this name :D This section states that the Package Control folder in the Packages folder also needs to be deleted. I asked this question because I suspected such generated content. Please include it in your answer. Nov 16, 2014 at 0:18
  • Updated, thanks @BartaTamás for the suggestion. Funny, I don't have that second folder. Just some cache and settings files in Packages/User, I guess the former only got created in old versions.

  • I did two Package Control uninstallation, one at my workplace, one at home. At home I had the folder, here I didn't. But might be worth to mention here. Nov 17, 2014 at 15:18

Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Shift+⌘+P on a Mac) type 'Remove' All the packages that can be removed will be shown in the list below. Select one and this is it.

  • Copy-pasting voting status in the beginning of an answer makes me just wonder from where you copied this. That aside (copying is perfectly ok if the content is relevant and good, although adding a link to the original would be nice), how does this answer differ from the one provided by Kaloyan Stamatov more than a year ago?

  • I don't know what the hell "0 down vote means" but this answer deserves down votes. It doesn't answer the question. This removes packages, the question is how to remove "Package Control" - very different things. Jun 9, 2022 at 18:59

Another issue, if you run OS X, is that you may have upgraded Xcode, and Apple has decided to not let you run git because you have not accepted the license agreement. This is if you are using the standard Apple-installed git (usually in /usr/bin/git).

Simply run git in the Terminal, and and press the space-bar and type agree to Apple's agreement to fix this. When git runs correctly, the Gitgutter will start working again.

Why git a program they had nothing to do with writing, needs to be covered by their mandatory (and ridiculously long) licensing agreement is beyond me, and is arguably in violation of the GPLv2 license of git. Another option is to just install your own git.
