I had my old hot tub removed.

Now there is an unused 240v power coming out of the garage wall in a
conduit, down a few feet to the ground, then run along the edge of the house
about 15 feet, and end with a cable sticking out the conduit, temporarily
wrapped with electrical tapes.

The power is turned off at the breaker panel, of course.

What is the least amount of work to make this code compliant? Can I cut off
the cable flush with the conduit exit, and then put a conduit cap on it? Do
I have to put something at the end of the cut cables to cover the exposed
copper wires?

Is this a temporary termination or 100% permanent?

You could...

1 - Remove the cable from the panel
2 - Cut it off high above the panel, perhaps enclosing the cutoff end
in a junction box in case you ever want to use the cable again.
3 - Label it for future reference
4 - Add a junction box at the conduit end in case you ever want to use
the cable again or if there is room, push it back into the conduit and
cap it.
5 - Label it for future reference

Bottom line is that you should remove the cable from the panel box.
