How do you delete files that are already uploaded into a repository?

Question

I am unfamiliar with Git commands. How do I delete files that are already on a Bitbucket repository? I want to delete some files so the next time when someone pulls, we can work on a project without having those extra files.

Answer 1

You need to create a commit that removes this file:

git rm /path/to/file
git commit

And then just push it as you would with any other commit.

Answer 2

When your commiting your code use $ git add -u to add the files you deleted while working on the repo just like you would use git add . to add new files and changes
