SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-rm' [-f] [-n] [-r] [--cached] [--ignore-unmatch] [--quiet] [--] <file>...
+'git rm' [-f | --force] [-n] [-r] [--cached] [--ignore-unmatch] [--quiet] [--] <file>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Remove files from the index, or from the working tree and the index.
-`git rm` will not remove a file from just your working directory.
+'git-rm' will not remove a file from just your working directory.
(There is no option to remove a file only from the work tree
and yet keep it in the index; use `/bin/rm` if you want to do that.)
The files being removed have to be identical to the tip of the branch,
but this requires the `-r` option to be explicitly given.
-f::
+--force::
Override the up-to-date check.
--n, \--dry-run::
+-n::
+--dry-run::
Don't actually remove any file(s). Instead, just show
if they exist in the index and would otherwise be removed
by the command.
the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken
for command-line options).
-\--cached::
+--cached::
Use this option to unstage and remove paths only from the index.
Working tree files, whether modified or not, will be
left alone.
-\--ignore-unmatch::
+--ignore-unmatch::
Exit with a zero status even if no files matched.
--q, \--quiet::
- git-rm normally outputs one line (in the form of an "rm" command)
+-q::
+--quiet::
+ 'git-rm' normally outputs one line (in the form of an "rm" command)
for each file removed. This option suppresses that output.
EXAMPLES
--------
-git-rm Documentation/\\*.txt::
+git rm Documentation/\\*.txt::
Removes all `\*.txt` files from the index that are under the
`Documentation` directory and any of its subdirectories.
+
example; this lets git, and not the shell, expand the pathnames
of files and subdirectories under the `Documentation/` directory.
-git-rm -f git-*.sh::
+git rm -f git-*.sh::
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`.
