Git Remove Tracked Files from Repository


If you need to Remove some Tracked files from your git Repository you have to Reset the Cached Index.
You can remove a single file with the Command:


 git rm -r --cached fileName

But if you need to Un-track Multiples Files it's best the Remove the Entire Index with:

git rm -r --cached .

After you can Insert the files you don't want git follow to Track inside the .gitignorefile.
Next you need to Rebuild your git Index by the Usual git Command:


git add .

You Reset your Head with:

git reset head

Last you have to Commit your new Repo Version:

git commit -m "Removed files in .gitignore from the Index"

Now your Repository do Not will Track those files again...)
