# Remove Repository Configuration Overrides

`DELETE /api/v1/git/repositories/{repo_id}/config`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://public-api.linearb.io`
- URL: `https://public-api.linearb.io/api/v1/git/repositories/{repo_id}/config`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/linearb/apis/linearb-api/docs/api/v1/git/repositories/:repo_id/config/delete.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Removes every override of the repository, so it follows the organization default - including any later change to it. Changing excluded branches, excluded base branches, excluded file extensions, release detection or coding time strategy recomputes history asynchronously
