Git commit without files or folder

Question

Git is telling me to commit some 10000 changes but here's the catch, I deleted the folder in which the files to commit are located. Any thoughts on how I can stop git from telling me this.

Answer 1

Run git reset --hard origin/<branch_name> and the branch will realign with your origin counterpart.

Answer 2

If you want your directory or files to do not track by git

Run this command

git update-index --assume-unchanged <directory> or <file>

Answer 3

If those files in the folder are don't need in repo, you may add the folder path into .gitignore file. then git won't ask again to commit changes.
