22 git-rm \- Remove files from the working tree and from the index
26 \fIgit\-rm\fR [\-f] [\-n] [\-v] [\-\-] <file>...
31 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"\&.
37 Files to remove from the index and optionally, from the working tree as well\&.
41 Remove files from the working tree as well as from the index\&.
45 Don't actually remove the file(s), just show if they exist in the index\&.
53 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)\&.
58 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:
62 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);
65 Giving the name of a file that is not in the index does not remove that file\&.
71 git\-rm Documentation/\\*\&.txt
72 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\&.
74 Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in this example; this lets the command include the files from subdirectories of Documentation/ directory\&.
77 git\-rm \-f git\-*\&.sh
78 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\&.
