Question

I have a clone of a remote repository. Now, I’d like to remove some directories from the projects (in my clone as well as in the remote repository).
I simply don’t know which steps to follow (I’m pretty new to git). I’ve tried to use

git rm -r path/to/my/directory

It deletes the directory locally but I don’t know how to delete them on the origin…

The status display then:

On branch master
Changes to be committed:

(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

deleted:    path/to/my/directory/file1.txt
...

Can anybody help?

You first need to commit your changes:

git add *
git commit -m "Deleted folder"

Then you just need to push your changes to your origin:

git push
