How to remove files from git?

#git #github 
git rm filename
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you need to remove a file from git but not from local repository. Use

git rm --cached filename
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Do not forget to add the file to .gitignore if that file would be created again.
