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::
-q::
--quiet::
- git-rm normally outputs one line (in the form of an "rm" command)
+ '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`.
