Amplify-console: How can I disconnect repository of the existing app?

[sanodo]

* Please describe which feature you have a question about? *
I'm trying to disconnect the current repository from the amplify project. No matter what I try it's still connected. The reason being I need to switch to manual deployment.

* Provide additional details*
Things I've tried

• remove hosting through the CLI
• remove branches manually through the console

We have a running API deployed so deleting the app and creating a new one isn't really an option

Did you try disconnect branch?

I spoke with a teammate about this and understand the question better now. There is currently no way to migrate to a manual build if you start an app with a repo. The only workaround is to create a new app that is a manual build and consume the api in the existing app from your frontend if you can't migrate the api over.
