On SVN, removing something from the filesystem directly (rather than using svn) created a load of headaches.
I haven’t found this to be an issue when using git, but I notice that git has its own rm implementation (git rm).
What is the difference between rm and git rm?
If you just use
rm, you will need to follow it up withgit add <fileRemoved>.git rmdoes this in one step.You can also use
git rm --cachedwhich will remove the file from the index (staging it for deletion on the next commit), but keep your copy in the local file system.
