When is git rm -f used?

Question

I am learning Git and am unable to understand under what condition the -f flag is used while issuing the \"git rm\" command. Please explain a scenario where rm -f would be r

Answer 1

If you edit a file, and then realize you want to delete it instead.

$ ls
func.c
$ vim func.c
...edit the file...

Now that I think about it, I actually want to delete it...

$ git rm func.c
error: 'func.c' has local modifications
(use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal)
$ git rm -f func.c
