Git remove directory

Question

I\'ve got a repository on GitHub (http://github.com/hrickards/PHP-Crypto) for a little project me and a couple of others are working on. My development environment is Aptana Stu

Answer 1

This is what I use, and I think you'll want to as well. It's close to the other answers, but instructs git to NOT change the local files.

git rm -r -f --cached DirectoryName

• -r : recursive
• -f : force
• --cached : apply ONLY to index (staging area). Git leaves the local copies alone.
