I have several project config files that got stuck in the tree when I initially commited in NetBeans, and now they refuse to be removed from the commit. How can I remove them from within NetBeans?

Do you want to ignore some files and remove ignored files that already committed? – timoras Jun 18 '13 at 04:14

If you're having trouble manipulating your git repo/files from netbeans and are averse to using the terminal, you could try a Git desktop client http://git-scm.com/downloads/guis – Peter Berg Jun 18 '13 at 04:14

@timoras - Yes, that's correct. – Nathan2055 Jun 18 '13 at 15:41

@Nathan2055 Did you ever figure out how to do this? I'm running into the same issue. – Eric Alberson Sep 17 '15 at 12:02

If you just want to delete a file in a local repo, apply the first two steps only, but I assume you want to push the changes into a remote one too.
So here's how it goes:
- Open the "Files" or "Projects" window
- Right click on the file(s), select "Delete", then press OK.
- In the "Projects" window, right-click the root node ("Source Files"), then press "Git"→"Commit"
- Approve the files to be deleted (they will be marked with yellow, and checked by default) then press Commit. You can optionally set the commit message too.
- Repeat step 3, but this time select "Git"→"Remote"→"Push to Upstream"
And that's it, the file changes are now pushed into the remote side.
