Removing files in GIT

Question

How do I remove files in the remote repository?

Answer 1

Remove file from repository and filesystem

git rm my_path/my_file

Force removing file

git rm --force my_path/my_file

Remove file only from your repository not in your file system

git rm --cached my_path/my_file

Answer 2

I think you can try this git filter-branch command to rewrite remote origin branch. So that delete those files you wanna clean in all commits.
