NAME
       git-rm - Remove files from the working tree and from the index

SYNOPSIS
       git-rm [-f] [-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. (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, and no updates
       to their contents can be staged in the index, though that default
       behavior can be overridden with the -f option. When --cached is given,
       the staged content has to match either the tip of the branch or the
       file on disk, allowing the file to be removed from just the index.

OPTIONS
       <file>...
	      Files to remove. Fileglobs (e.g. *.c) can be given to remove all
	      matching files. If you want git to expand file glob characters,
	      you may need to shell-escape them. A leading directory name
	      (e.g. dir to remove dir/file1 and dir/file2) can be given to
	      remove all files in the directory, and recursively all
	      sub-directories, but this requires the -r option to be
	      explicitly given.

       -f     Override the up-to-date check.

       -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.

       -r     Allow recursive removal when a leading directory name is given.

       --     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).

       --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
	      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) for each file removed. This option suppresses that
	      output.

DISCUSSION
       The <file> list given to the command can be exact pathnames, file glob
       patterns, or leading directory names. The command removes only the
       paths that are known to git. Giving the name of a file that you have
       not told git about does not remove that file.

       File globbing matches across directory boundaries. Thus, given two
       directories d and d2, there is a difference between using git rm 'd*'
       and git rm 'd/*', as the former will also remove all of directory d2.

EXAMPLES
       git-rm Documentation/\*.txt
	      Removes all *.txt files from the index that are under the
	      Documentation directory and any of its subdirectories.

	      Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in this
	      example; this lets git, and not the shell, expand the pathnames
	      of files and subdirectories under the Documentation/ directory.

       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.
