 <h1>
 git-rm(1) Manual Page
 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-rm -
  Remove files from the working tree and from the index
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p><em>git-rm</em> [-f] [-n] [-v] [--] &lt;file&gt;&#8230;</p>
 </div>
 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>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".</p>
 </div>
 <h2>OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 &lt;file&gt;&#8230;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Files to remove from the index and optionally, from the
  working tree as well.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -f
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Remove files from the working tree as well as from the index.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -n
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Don't actually remove the file(s), just show if they exist in
  the index.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -v
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Be verbose.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &#8212;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  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).
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl>
 </div>
 <h2>DISCUSSION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>The list of &lt;file&gt; given to the command is fed to <tt>git-ls-files</tt>
 command to list files that are registered in the index and
 are not ignored/excluded by <tt>$GIT_DIR/info/exclude</tt> file or
 <tt>.gitignore</tt> file in each directory. This means two things:</p>
 <ol>
 <li>
 <p>
 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);
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 Giving the name of a file that is not in the index does not
  remove that file.
 </p>
 </li>
 </ol>
 </div>
 <h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 git-rm Documentation/\*.txt
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Removes all <tt>*.txt</tt> files from the index that are under the
  <tt>Documentation</tt> directory and any of its subdirectories. The
  files are not removed from the working tree.
 </p>
 <p>Note that the asterisk <tt>*</tt> is quoted from the shell in this
 example; this lets the command include the files from
 subdirectories of <tt>Documentation/</tt> directory.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 git-rm -f git-*.sh
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  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 <tt>subdir/git-foo.sh</tt>.
