Don't run git add after removing. Simply commit the git rm command and it'll remove it from the index. If you run git add before commiting, it'll add the staged removals back into the index.

Run the following commands to remove the files from the index and maintain the local files.

git rm --cached -r dev/tests
git commit -m "Removed dev tests"
git push origin master

Within the root of the project, make sure you have a .gitignore with the following in

dev/tests/*
