How to removing a file with git

If you don't want a file anymore, there are two ways to remove it. First mode: delete the file manually and commit the changes. This will delete the file locally and on the repository. Use the following command line:

$ rm myfile.txt
$ git commit -m 'delete the file with name: myfile.txt'

Second mode: delete the file only through git:

$ git rm --cached myfile.txt
