bulk delete in GIT?

Tags:

git

If I manually go into windows explorer and delete a bunch of files, is there any way to bulk commit the change?

I believe even after doing a :

git add .

it still tells me I have to do a:

git rm /path/to/file

Which will be a bit annoying if I have tons of files to delete?

How do I delete multiple branches in git?

Remove all Git branches but main Newer Git repositories have renamed the master branch to main. To delete all branches in Git except main, simply replace the grep for master with a grep for main: git branch | grep -v "main" | xargs git branch -D. git branch | grep -v " main$" | xargs git branch -D.

How delete multiple remote branches?

Deleting Multiple Remote Branches egrep -v "(^\*|master|main)" - exclude branch master and main. sed 's/origin\///' - because the remote branches are prefixed with origin/ this command will filter that part out so it returns only the branch name. xargs -n 1 git push origin --delete - deletes the remaining branches.

What is force delete in git?

Delete a Local GIT branch The -d option stands for --delete , which would delete the local branch, only if you have already pushed and merged it with your remote branches. The -D option stands for --delete --force , which deletes the branch regardless of its push and merge status, so be careful using this one!

git add -u will stage all changes to all tracked files, including deletes.

If you have changes that aren't deletes that you don't want to stage you have to do something like:

git diff --name-only --diff-filter=D -z | xargs -0 git rm --
