Use `git rm --cached` to remove from the index but not the working tree.

After that, you should add `.classpath` to your .gitignore file, to prevent it from being committed again.

&gt; why git rm delete my file instead of remove from version control ???

Because that&#39;s what it says it will do.

    $ git help rm
    NAME
           git-rm - Remove files from the working tree and from the index
    
    SYNOPSIS
           git rm [-f | --force] [-n] [-r] [--cached] [--ignore-unmatch] [--quiet]
           [--] &lt;file&gt;...
    
    DESCRIPTION
           Remove files from the index, or from the working tree and the index.
           ... When --cached is given,
           the staged content has to match either the tip of the branch or the
           file on disk, allowing the file to be removed from just the index.
    
    OPTIONS
          ...
    
           --cached
               Use this option to unstage and remove paths only from the index.
               Working tree files, whether modified or not, will be left alone.

As Platinum Azure says, use `git rm --cached` to only remove it from source control, and use `.gitignore` to keep it out and stop it showing in `git status`.

Does anyone know how to round up a number to its nearest multiple of 5?  I found an algorithm to round it to the nearest multiple of 10 but I can&#39;t find this one.

This does it for ten.
    
    double number = Math.round((len + 5)/ 10.0) * 10.0;

I have a strange behavior trying to execute a query declaring ObjectQuery MergeOption to &quot;NoTracking&quot;, in this case entity framework should not attach any entity and not create the relative ObjectStateEntry to track entity state.

The problem is that instead of increase performance it get worse, the same query takes like 10 seconds with default mergeoption (that is AppendingOnly) and more the 1 minutes if I try to specify notracking

Does someone have an explanation for this??

I have a `.classpath` file which is currently in GIT repository.

After I pulled from remove repository(`git pull origin master`). How can I remove this file from GIT control, I mean `NOT to delete` this file from my computer **but** remove it from GIT version control. (Because this file is not needed for version control).

**P.S.**

I tried `git rm &lt;path-to&gt;/.classpath` , but then my whole project complains about wrong class path, why git rm delete my file instead of remove from version control ???

Every time I use git to interact with a remote, such as when pulling or pushing, I am shown the following message:

&gt; Warning: Permanently added &#39;...&#39; (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

How can I prevent this annoying message from displaying? It is only an annoyance—everything functions properly.

I was accidentally working on a branch I shouldn&#39;t have been for a while, so I branched off of it giving it the appropriate name.  Now I want to overwrite the branch I shouldn&#39;t have been on to the version from origin (github).  Is there an easy way to do this?  I tried deleting the branch and then resetting up the tracking branch, but it just gives me the version I was working on again.

I have **ONE** repository on **GitHub**, let&#39;s call it `Repo-1`.

I want to first access that repository as a **default Git user**.

Let&#39;s call that user `User-1`.

I created **SSH keypair**, everything fine, **works nice**.

- - -

I made **ANOTHER** repository on **GitHub**, let&#39;s call it `Repo-2`.

I **didn&#39;t make any changes in local Git**, on my laptop. No configurational changes, nothing.

Now - I want to **clone** from `Repo-1` as the `User-2` (but **from the same laptop**).

First of all: is this at all possible to do?

Can local Git on one single laptop switch between &quot;user accounts&quot; and present itself as `User-2`? And then, from THAT identity, clone from Repo-1, make some change, and then push to `Repo-1`?

If possible, how do I do that?

I have a project that relies on two repos in github to function. 
When I submit my project to github how do I link to these two repos? 
Should I duplicate the files in my own repo or link to the other repo at a specific revision as I don&#39;t want it to update and cause incompatibility.
I already created my github repo what should I do?

I am getting this error when I am trying push my files into heroku rep.

Ive set autocrlf = false already in gitconfig but this problem is still there.
i have also tried this solution [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5669209/why-do-i-get-error-failed-to-push-some-refs)
but no gain.

Any suggestion is this possible that git is still using old config setting if yes then how can I refresh it.

Thankyou

I have a branch &#39;firstproject&#39; with 2 commits. I want to get rid of these commits and make them appear as a single commit. 

The command `git merge --squash` sounds promising, but when I run `git merge --squash` my terminal just brings up options for the command. What is the correct command? 

    Commit 1:
    Added &#39;homepage.html&#39;
