git rm will remove entries from the
staging area. This is a bit different

When you use
git rm --cached myfile
it doesn't delete from the local filesystem, which is the goal. But if you've already versioned and committed the file, pushed it to a central repository, and pulled it into yet another repository before using…
I have a file (config.php), that is already committed to a Git repository, but I want to ignore locally, i.e. I want that file to remain in repository, but force Git to ignore any changes to it.
I put the file into .gitignore, but it is still marked…

I accidentally added a folder of images and committed. Then, I made one more commit.

both of the commands seem to take the file from staged to un-staged area. How do the commands differ?
How do I easily remove several files without manually typing the full paths of all of them to git rm? I have plenty of modified files I'd like to keep so removing all modified is not possible either.

I supposed to delete another file with git rm abc.c. But I deleted a wrong one.
How can I recover it?
Right now, when I issue git status, it says

BTW, I have other uncommitted changes now.
How do I remove all of a certain type of file from the Repository? I'm using

I have come across the following three ways in order to unstage the files that were staged by the command 'git add'

I wish to stop tracking files but still keep them in my working tree.
I've gathered that git rm --cached FILE will let me do that. However, if someone else pulls this change, will their local copies be deleted?
I accidentally removed the entire directory of my source code...with a nice rm -r. I know, really bad; but fortunately, I had a git repo in the containing directory. Thus, git has a huge list of unstaged changes of deleted files. For example:…
