git-rm(1)
=========
NAME
----
git-rm - Remove files from the working tree and from the index.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-rm' [-f] [-n] [-v] [--] <file>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
A convenience wrapper for git-update-index --remove. For those coming
from cvs, git-rm provides an operation similar to "cvs rm" or "cvs
remove".
OPTIONS
-------
<file>...::
Files to remove from the index and optionally, from the
working tree as well.
-f::
Remove files from the working tree as well as from the index.
-n::
Don't actually remove the file(s), just show if they exist in
the index.
-v::
Be verbose.
--::
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).
DISCUSSION
----------
The list of <file> given to the command is fed to `git-ls-files`
command to list files that are registered in the index and
are not ignored/excluded by `$GIT_DIR/info/exclude` file or
`.gitignore` file in each directory. This means two things:
. You can put the name of a directory on the command line, and the
command will remove all files in it and its subdirectories (the
directories themselves are never removed from the working tree);
. Giving the name of a file that is not in the index 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. The
files are not removed from the working tree.
+
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. The files
are removed from the index, and (because of the -f option),
from the working tree as well. 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`.
