Remove file from the repository but keep it locally

Question

I have a folder which I\'d like to remove in my remote repository. I\'d like to delete it, but keep the folder in my computer

Answer 1

I would just:

• Move the folder out of your working tree
• git rm the folder, commit the change
• Add to .gitignore (or .git/info/excludes), commit the change
• Move the folder back
