What I don't know is how to delete the record of the existing "_notes" directories from the current commit, without deleting them from the working tree. Ah, what you want is "git rm --cached -r". This would work (if you were on some flavor of Un*x): git rm --cached -r $( find . -name _notes ) Dale -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] How to remove folder and it's contents from repo
Hi there, I'm new to git. I created a repo. I use Dreeamwever as editor and it creates _notes subfolder inside each folder of a website. The _notes folders are created by Dreamweaver to maintain synchronization information and for Design Notes. This _notes folder is created at various level of web site structure. E.g \ _notes folder1 |-_notes |-folder2 |-_notes |-folder3 |-_notes Currently my repo contains all these _notes folder located under different folders in this tree structure. How do I remove these _notes folder and it's contains. I do not want Git to track these _notes folders and it's contents.
