How to delete a file from a Git repository

Comment

// If you want to remove the file from the Git repository and the filesystem, use:
git rm file1.txt
git commit -m "remove file1.txt"

// But if you want to remove the file only from the Git repository and not remove it from the filesystem, use:
git rm --cached file1.txt
git commit -m "remove file1.txt"
