I have added a file named "file1.txt" to a Git repository. After that, I committed it, added a couple of directories called dir1 and dir2, and committed them to the Git repository.
Now the current repository has "file1.txt", dir1, and dir2. How can I delete "file1.txt" without affecting others, like dir1 and dir2?

git rm is used to remove a file from a Git repository. It is a convenience method that combines the effect of the default shell rm command with git add .
You can delete an individual file or an entire directory in your repository on GitHub. People with write permissions can delete files or directories in a repository.
Using git rm <deleted-filename> and git add <deleted-filename>. Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. It will stage the deleted file, and followed by git commit and git push will remove the file from the repository.
Use git rm.
If you want to remove the file from the Git repository and the filesystem, use:
git rm file1.txt git commit -m "remove file1.txt" But if you want to remove the file only from the Git repository and not remove it from the filesystem, use:
git rm --cached file1.txt git commit -m "remove file1.txt" And to push changes to remote repo
git push origin branch_name If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
