```
git rm --cached file
```

should do what you want.

You can read more details at `git help rm`

I tried experimenting with the answers given. My personal finding came out to be:

    git rm -r --cached .

And then

    git add .

This seemed to make my working directory nice and clean. You can put your fileName in place of the dot.



I am trying to read a text file which is set in CLASSPATH system variable. Not a user variable.

I am trying to get input stream to the file as below:

Place the directory of file (`D:\myDir`)in CLASSPATH and try below:

    InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(&quot;SomeTextFile.txt&quot;);
    InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(&quot;/SomeTextFile.txt&quot;);
    InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(&quot;//SomeTextFile.txt&quot;);


Place full path of file (`D:\myDir\SomeTextFile.txt`)in CLASSPATH and try the same above 3 lines of code.

But unfortunately NONE of them are working and I am always getting `null` into my InputStream `in`.



How to really read text file from classpath in Java

I need to catch some warnings being thrown from some php native functions and then handle them.

Specifically:

    array dns_get_record  ( string $hostname  [, int $type= DNS_ANY  [, array &amp;$authns  [, array &amp;$addtl  ]]] )

It throws a warning when the DNS query fails.

`try`/`catch` doesn&#39;t work because a warning is not an exception.

I now have 2 options:

1. `set_error_handler` seems like overkill because I have to use it to filter every warning in the page (is this true?);

2. Adjust error reporting/display so these warnings don&#39;t get echoed to screen, then check the return value; if it&#39;s `false`, no records is found for hostname.

What&#39;s the best practice here?


Can I try/catch a warning?

The command removes the file in my system. I meant it to remove only the file from Git-repository.

There is a file that was being tracked by Git, but now the file is on the `.gitignore` list.

However, that file keeps showing up in `git status` after it&#39;s edited. How do you force Git to completely forget about it?




How can I make Git &quot;forget&quot; about a file that was tracked, but is now in .gitignore?

My programs generally generate huge output files (~1 GB) which I do not want to be backing up to the git repository.  So instead of being able to do

    git add .

I have to do something like

    git add *.c *.cc *.f *.F *.C *.h *.cu

which is a little bit cumbersome...

I feel fairly confident I could write a quicky perl script ls the directory contents into .gitignore and then remove files based on a .gitinclude (or some similar name) file, but that seems a little too hackish.  Is there a better way?

Is there a way to tell git to only include certain files instead of ignoring certain files?

Is it possible in Git to switch to another branch without checking out all files?

After switching branch I need to delete all files, regenerate them, commit and switch back. So checking out files is just a waste of time (and there are about 14,000 files - it is a long operation).

To make everything clear:

I need all this to upload [documentation][1] to GitHub.

I have a repository with the *gh-pages* branch. When I rebuild documentation locally, I copy it to the repository directory, commit and push to GitHub. But I was not happy, because I had two copies of documentation locally. And I decided to create an empty branch and after committing, switch to empty and delete files. But switching back is a long operation - so I asked this question.

I know that I can just leave on the *gh-pages* branch and delete files, but I don&#39;t like dirty working trees.

Switch Git branch without files checkout

Is it possible to get info about how much space is wasted by changes in every commit — so I can find commits which added big files or a lot of files. This is all to try to reduce git repo size (rebasing and maybe filtering commits)

git find fat commit

Basically I&#39;m after [this][1] but for PowerShell instead of bash.

I use git on windows through PowerShell. If possible, I&#39;d like my current branch name to displayed as part of the command prompt.

I have added a file named `&quot;file1.txt&quot;` to a Git repository. After that, I committed it, added a couple of directories called `dir1` and `dir2`, and committed them to the Git repository.

Now the current repository has `&quot;file1.txt&quot;`, `dir1`, and `dir2`. How can I delete `&quot;file1.txt&quot;` without affecting others, like `dir1` and `dir2`?



How can I delete a file from a Git repository?

I accidentely said `git rm -r .`. How do I recover from this?

I did not commit.

I think all files were marked for deletion and were also physically removed from my local checkout.

*EDIT:* I could (if I knew the command) revert to the last commit. But it would be a lot better if I could just undo the `git rm -r .`. Because I am not really sure what I did after the last commit and before the `git rm -r .`.

How to revert a &quot;git rm -r .&quot;?

When you use

    git rm --cached myfile

it doesn&#39;t delete from the local filesystem, which is the goal. But if you&#39;ve already versioned and committed the file, pushed it to a central repository, and pulled it into yet another repository before using the command, it will delete the file from that system.

Is there a way to just remove the file from versioning without deleting it from any filesystem?

Edit: Clarified, I hope.
