In this article you will see that how you can delete file from git repo
To delete a file from a Git repository, you can use the following steps:
rm file-to-delete.txt
git rm file-to-delete.txt
This command tells Git to remove the file from your repository, and stage the deletion in the index, so that the change will be included in your next commit.
git commit -m "Deleted file-to-delete.txt"
This command makes a new commit that records the deletion of the file in your Git history. The -m option allows you to provide a commit message that describes the change you're making.
Push the changes to the remote repository, if you have one:
git push origin <branch-name>
This command pushes the changes to the remote repository, so that the file is deleted from the remote repository as well. Replace <branch-name>
with the name of the branch you're working on.
Note: Deleting a file from a Git repository removes it permanently, so make sure you have a backup of the file before you delete it. You can use the git checkout
command to restore a deleted file from a previous commit, if necessary.

To delete a file from a Git repository without deleting it from your local file system, you can use the following steps:
