Question

In my git repository I manually deleted a file(rm) after moving it to another folder. I than committed all the changes to my repo but now when I do git status .

ronnie@ronnie:/home/github/Vimfiles/Vim$ git status .
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       deleted:    plugin/dwm.vim
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Now, how should I commit so that dwm.vim is deleted from the plugin folder in my remote repo. I know that I have to use git add && git commit but I have no file to commit/add because /plugin/dwm.vim is already deleted.

The answer’s here, I think.

It’s better if you do git rm <fileName>, though.
