NAME

|
----
|
|
git-rm - Remove files from the working tree and from the index
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-rm' [-f] [-n] [-r] [--cached] [--] <file>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Remove files from the working tree and from the index. The
|
|
files have to be identical to the tip of the branch, and no
|
|
updates to its contents must have been placed in the staging
|
|
area (aka index).
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<file>...::
|
|
Files to remove. Fileglobs (e.g. `*.c`) can be given to
|
|
remove all matching files. Also a leading directory name
|
|
(e.g. `dir` to add `dir/file1` and `dir/file2`) can be
|
|
given to remove all files in the directory, recursively,
|
|
but this requires `-r` option to be given for safety.
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
Override the up-to-date check.
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
Don't actually remove the file(s), just show if they exist in
|
|
the index.
|
|
|
|
-r::
|
|
Allow recursive removal when a leading directory name is
|
|
given.
|
|
|
|
\--::
|
|
This option can be used to separate command-line options from
|
|
the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken
|
|
for command-line options).
|
|
|
|
\--cached::
|
|
This option can be used to tell the command to remove
|
|
the paths only from the index, leaving working tree
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DISCUSSION
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The list of <file> given to the command can be exact pathnames,
|
|
file glob patterns, or leading directory name. The command
|
|
removes only the paths that is known to git. Giving the name of
|
|
a file that you have not told git about does not remove that file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
git-rm Documentation/\\*.txt::
|
|
Removes all `\*.txt` files from the index that are under the
|
|
`Documentation` directory and any of its subdirectories.
|
|
+
|
|
Note that the asterisk `\*` is quoted from the shell in this
|
|
example; this lets the command include the files from
|
|
subdirectories of `Documentation/` directory.
|
|
|
|
git-rm -f git-*.sh::
|
|
Remove all git-*.sh scripts that are in the index.
|
|
Because this example lets the shell expand the asterisk
|
|
(i.e. you are listing the files explicitly), it
|
|
does not remove `subdir/git-foo.sh`.
