I'm a PHP developer by profession and I'm a newbie to this thing Git.

Also I've No Idea at all about using Git from the Terminal using Git commands.

Whatever knowledge I have to use Git is using the NetBeans IDE only.

I've been given a local machine running on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS. It already has installed NetBeans IDE 8.0. This NetBeans IDE has Git plugin already installed.

I've been asked to remove specific files and folders from the repository branch on Git server.

So, I made a clone of the git branch on my local Ubuntu machine which I asked to manipulate using menu Team-->Git-->Clone and by providing necessary details like Git Repo URL, Username, Password.

Now tell me if I select the specific files and folders from the clone and delete them using the delete option present in NetBeans IDE and commit/push the code base will the same set of files and folders will get removed from the Git branch present on Git server too?

If yes I'll proceed with that way. If no then please provide me the way to do it.

Please guide me in this regard.

Thanks.

Yes, if you delete a file or a folder on your local git repository and then you add, commit and push the changes to a remote server, it will update that branche's history on the remote too.

No, not for me.

To do it, in the Projects tab, right click on the project's Source Files and then select Git and Show Changes. When the deleted files appear, select the files you want to delete, right click, and there you can Commit...
