I have deleted several unnecessary files in my local and also changed the location of some files. I want my github repository to match what I have locally.
I have previously use command:
git rm
To remove specific files, but I wonder if there is a more efficient way to do it.
git rm [insert_filename_here]
Followed by
git commit -am "deleted blah blah"
git push
To ensure that your local repo. matches the github repo. just run git status, check and see if an y files have been modified, deleted, or added. If so, then you can stage those files to be commited.
To stage a file(s) to be commited, I typically use
git add <rel_path_to_file> (for each file that is to be changed or added) followed by a
git commit -m 'your commit message'
then when you're through staging the files that you'd like to commit, or telling git what you want to change in the github repo and what note to leave when you change it, just run git push
Hope that helps!
after
git rm
you should do
git status
to see you changes to avoid some unexpected changes. Then do,
git commiy -a -m "delete XXXX"
and then do,
git pull origin.
Last,
git push
