git rm and git rm--cached and git reset HEAD

git rm

Git RM removes the entry from the cache. This is different from the git reset HEAD to de-cache the entries. "De-caching" means restoring the buffer to the way it was before we made the change.

By default, thegit rm file removes files from the cache and your hard drive (working directory).

If you want to keep the file in your working directory, you can use git rm--cached:

If we delete the hello.php file:

The current working directory and the local cache will not have hello.php files.
