593 <tt>git rm

594 (There is no option to remove a file only from the working tree
595 and yet keep it in the index; use
<tt>/bin/rm
</tt> if you want to do that.)
596 The files being removed have to be identical to the tip of the branch,
597 and no updates to their contents can be staged in the index,
598 though that default behavior can be overridden with the
<tt>-f
</tt> option.
599 When
<tt>--cached
</tt> is given, the staged content has to
600 match either the tip of the branch or the file on disk,
601 allowing the file to be removed from just the index.

611 Files to remove. Fileglobs (e.g.
<tt>*.c
</tt>) can be given to
612 remove all matching files. If you want git to expand
613 file glob characters, you may need to shell-escape them.
614 A leading directory name
615 (e.g.
<tt>dir
</tt> to remove
<tt>dir/file1
</tt> and
<tt>dir/file2
</tt>) can be
616 given to remove all files in the directory, and recursively
618 but this requires the
<tt>-r
</tt> option to be explicitly given.
629 Override the up-to-date check.
640 Don
’t actually remove any file(s). Instead, just show
641 if they exist in the index and would otherwise be removed
650 Allow recursive removal when a leading directory name is
659 This option can be used to separate command-line options from
660 the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken
661 for command-line options).
669 Use this option to unstage and remove paths only from the index.
670 Working tree files, whether modified or not, will be
679 Exit with a zero status even if no files matched.
690 <tt>git rm
</tt> normally outputs one line (in the form of an
<tt>rm
</tt> command)
691 for each file removed. This option suppresses that output.

698 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The
<file

699 file glob patterns, or leading directory names. The command
700 removes only the paths that are known to git. Giving the name of
701 a file that you have not told git about does not remove that file.
</p></div>
702 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>File globbing matches across directory boundaries. Thus, given
703 two directories
<tt>d

<tt>d2

704 using
<tt>git rm
'd
