Under Preferences > Server and Bots, I turned it to On because I was curious.

Realizing it's not something I care about, I turned it off.

Problem is, now I always see the Xcode Server (Hammer) icon in my main toolbar.

How do I stop this from running?

I went in and tweaked the /Library/LaunchDaemons launchd scripts for:

com.apple.xcsd.plist, com.apple.xcsd.worker.plist, com.apple.xcsnginx.plist, and com.apple.xcsredis.plist.

Setting their KeepAlive to false kept the background process from continually thrashing to start up.

I was unable to get the Hammer to disappear. That must be someother process.

It looks like the file 'com.apple.xcsbuilder.plist' in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ is responsible. You can remove the file or change the two properties ('RunAtLoad' and 'KeepAlive') to 'false'. Then logout or reboot.

Warning: Total newbie, here. Proceed at your own risk. ;-)

I solved it by going into Activity Monitor and killing the Xcode Server process. The hammer disappeared.

Open Xcode App
Go to preferences - Server & Bots

On the left side you will see "Users can access bots on this server at "User Computer (Mac)"
On the right side you will see a button -
3. Turn the button off
When you turn the button off you will see a warning:
"Could not read service permissions: Unable to perform request. CFNetwork error: Could not connect to the server. (-1004 - KCFURLErrorCannotConnectoToHost)"
4. Hit OK twice.
The hammer will be gone and then on the left side you will have "Turn on to provide continuous integration for your team"

Hope that helps.
