If the project has been initialised as a git repo, then there will be a folder called .git in the root (ie the folder that contains everything). If it hasn’t, there won’t be.

If you’ve accidentally run git init in a subfolder, then it will be there.

What happens when you run git init in the root folder? Does it throw an error?

Where is the root folder ? If you’re taking about the project’s main folder … there are two files(.git and .gitignore) … I have already deleted these too files

Yes, “root” as in the “root” of the project, the place that contains everything. And .git is a folder, it contains everything git needs to track the files in the project. So if you’ve deleted that then the project isn’t tracked by git at all now, it’s not in any way connected to git.

.gitignore is a text file where you list files and folders you don’t want git to track. There are a fair few of those in a React Native project (ie everything that gets produced when you run build), so if you reinitialise the project as a git repo, then you’ll want to get that file put back.
