Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
If you deleted a file from the working tree, then commit the deletion:
git commit -a -m "A file was deleted"
And push your commit upstream:
git push
Solution 2 - Git
Use commands :
git rm /path to file name /
followed by
git commit -m "Your Comment"
git push
your files will get deleted from the repository
Solution 3 - Git
-
If you want to push a deleted file to remote
> git add 'deleted file name'
>
> git commit -m'message'
>
> git push -u origin branch
-
If you want to delete a file from remote and locally
> git rm 'file name'
>
>
> git commit -m'message'
>
>
> git push -u origin branch
-
If you want to delete a file from remote only
> git rm --cached 'file name'
>
>
> git commit -m'message'
>
>
> git push -u origin branch
Solution 4 - Git
A simpler way
git add . -A
git commit -m "Deleted some files..."
git push origin master
-A Update the index not only where the working tree has a file matching
Solution 5 - Git
If you pushed a file or folder before it was in .gitignore (or had no .gitignore):
- Comment it out from .gitignore
- Add it back on the filesystem
- Remove it from the folder
- git add your file && commit it
- git push
Solution 6 - Git
if you just commit your deleted file and push. It should then be removed from the remote repo.
Solution 7 - Git
If you have deleted lot of files and folders, just do this
git commit -a -m .
git push
Solution 8 - Git
I know I am late, but what worked for me (total git newbie) was executing the following set of git commands:
git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -am "Remove ignored files and resubmitting files
To give credit where it is due, here is the link to the source.
Solution 9 - Git
Git Remote repository file deletion simple solution:
> git commit (file name with path which you want to delete) -m "file is > deleted" > > git push
It will work.Multiple selective file also you can delete in remote repository same way.
Solution 10 - Git
Visual Studio Code:
Delete the files from your Explorer view. You see them crossed-out in your Branch view. Then commit and Sync.
Be aware: If files are on your .gitignore list, then the delete "update" will not be pushed and therefore not be visible. VS Code will warn you if this is the case, though. -> Exclude the files/folder from gitignore temporarily.
Solution 11 - Git
The easiest thing to do is to move the file from your local directory temporarily, then commit changes to your remote repo. Then add it back to your local repo, make sure to update .gitignore so it doesn't commit to remote again
Solution 12 - Git
Don't need to worry, I just tackled this issue.
Step 1: Use commit changes
$ git commit -a "files were deleted"
Step 2: Push the changes
$ git push
