Removing multiple files from a Git repo that have

2019-01-01 09:57发布

问题:

I have a Git repo that I have deleted four files from using rm (not git rm), and my Git status looks like this:

#    deleted:    file1.txt
#    deleted:    file2.txt
#    deleted:    file3.txt
#    deleted:    file4.txt

How do I remove these files from Git without having to manually go through and add each file like this:

git rm file1 file2 file3 file4

Ideally, I\'m looking for something that works in the same way that git add . does, if that\'s possible.

回答1:

For Git 1.x

$ git add -u

This tells git to automatically stage tracked files -- including deleting the previously tracked files.

For Git 2.0

To stage your whole working tree:

$ git add -u :/

To stage just the current path:

$ git add -u .


回答2:

git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -0 git rm 

might be what you are looking for.. it works for me..



回答3:

You can use

git add -u

To add the deleted files to the staging area, then commit them

git commit -m \"Deleted files manually\"


回答4:

If you simply run:

git add -u

git will update its index to know that the files that you\'ve deleted should actually be part of the next commit. Then you can run \"git commit\" to check in that change.

Or, if you run:

git commit -a

It will automatically take these changes (and any others) and commit them.

Update: If you only want to add deleted files, try:

git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -0 git rm
git commit


回答5:

You\'re probably looking for -A:

git add -A

this is similar to git add -u, but also adds new files. This is roughly the equivalent of hg\'s addremove command (although the move detection is automatic).



回答6:

To stage only the deleted files:

for x in $(git status | grep deleted | awk \'{print $2}\'); do git rm $x; done

Or (the xargs way):

git status | awk \'/deleted/ {print $2}\' | xargs git rm

You can alias your preferred command set for convenient later use.



回答7:

git rm test.txt

Before or after you deleted the actual file.



回答8:

By using git-add with \'--all\' or \'--update\' options you may get more than you wanted. New and/or modified files will also be added to the index. I have a bash alias setup for when I want to remove deleted files from git without touching other files:

alias grma=\'git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -0 git rm\'

All files that have been removed from the file system are added to the index as deleted.



回答9:

Not that it really matters, but I disagree with the chose answer:

git add -u 

... will remove files from the index if the corresponding files in the working tree have been removed, but it will also stage the modified new contents of tracked files.

git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)

... on the other hand will only rm the deleted files that were tracked.

So the latter in my view is the better option.



回答10:

If those are the only changes, you can simply do

git commit -a

to commit all changes. That will include deleted files.



回答11:

git ls-files --deleted | xargs git rm 

is the best option to add only deleted files.

Here is some other options.

git add .  => Add all (tracked and modified)/new files in the working tree.

git add -u => Add all modified/removed files which are tracked.

git add -A => Add all (tracked and modified)/(tracked and removed)/new files in the working tree.

git commit -a -m \"commit message\" - Add and commit modified/removed files which are tracked.


回答12:

git add -u

-u --update Only match against already tracked files in the index rather than the working tree. That means that it will never stage new files, but that it will stage modified new contents of tracked files and that it will remove files from the index if the corresponding files in the working tree have been removed.

If no is given, default to \".\"; in other words, update all tracked files in the current directory and its subdirectories.



回答13:

That simple solution works fine for me:

git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)


回答14:

If you want to add it to your .gitconfig do this:

[alias]
  rma = !git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -0 git rm

Then all you have to do is run:

git rma


回答15:

git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -0 git rm --cached

This will remove all deleted files that were previous tracked by git, as well as handle the case where your filenames have spaces in them.

Depending on your POSIX variant, you may need to use xargs -0 -r: this will cause xargs to gracefully exit when piped null content.

EDIT: --cached and --deleted flags are used in tandem to safeguard against accidentally deleting files that have not already been deleted.



回答16:

Try it.

-a
--all
Tell the command to automatically stage files that have been modified and deleted, but new files you have not told Git about are not affected.

git add . && git commit -m -a \"Your commit\"

or

git add --all && git commit -m \"Your commit\"


回答17:

Please use -t to see which command is actually being ran

I just tweaked Virender answer to do same:

git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -t -0 git rm


回答18:

None of the flags to git-add will only stage removed files; if all you have modified are deleted files, then you\'re fine, but otherwise, you need to run git-status and parse the output.

Working off of Jeremy\'s answer, this is what I got:

git status |  sed -s \"s/^.*deleted: //\" | grep \"\\(\\#\\|commit\\)\" -v | xargs git rm
  1. Get status of files.
  2. For deleted files, isolate the name of the file.
  3. Remove all the lines that start with #s, as well as a status line that had the word \"deleted\" in it; I don\'t remember what it was, exactly, and it\'s not there any longer, so you may have to modify this for different situations. I think grouping of expressions might be a GNU-specific feature, so if you\'re not using gnutils, you may have to add multiple grep -v lines.
  4. Pass the files to git rm.

Sticking this in a shell alias now...



回答19:

The following will work, even if you have a lot of files to process:

git ls-files --deleted | xargs git rm

You\'ll probably also want to commit with a comment.

For details, see: Useful Git Scripts



回答20:

As mentioned

git add -u

stages the removed files for deletion, BUT ALSO modified files for update.

To unstage the modified files you can do

git reset HEAD <path>

if you like to keep your commits organized and clean.
NOTE: This could also unstage the deleted files, so careful with those wildcards.



回答21:

git commit -m \'commit msg\' $(git ls-files --deleted)

This worked for me after I had already deleted the files.



回答22:

I needed the same and used git gui \"stage changed\" button. it also adds all.

And after \"stage changed\" I made \"commit\" ...

so my working directory is clean again.



回答23:

You can use git add -u <filenames> to stage the deleted files only.

For example, if you deleted the files templates/*.tpl, then use git add -u templates/*.tpl.

The -u is required in order to refer to files that exist in the repository but no longer exist in the working directory. Otherwise, the default of git add is to look for the files in the working directory, and if you specify files you\'ve deleted there, it won\'t find them.



回答24:

something like

git status | sed -s \"s/^.*deleted: //\" | xargs git rm 

may do it.



回答25:

Adding system alias for staging deleted files as command rm-all

UNIX alias rm-all=\'git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)\'

WINDOWS doskey rm-all=bash -c \"git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)\"

Note

Windows needs to have bash installed.



回答26:

(Yet another variation)

I wanted to delete all the already deleted from the disk files but from one specific folder, leaving the other folders untouched. The following worked for me:

git ls-files --deleted  | grep <folder-name> | xargs git rm


回答27:

For visual studio project

\'git ls-files --deleted | sed \'s/(.*)/\"\\1\"/\'| xargs git rm\' 

which is useful when the deleted file path has space



回答28:

git rm $(git ls-files -d)

Removes all files listed by the git ls-files command (-d show only deleted files). Doesn\'t work for files with spaces in the filename or path, but simple to remember



回答29:

The most flexible solution I have found to date is to

git cola

And select all deleted files I want to stage.

(Note I usually do everything commandline in git, but git handles removed files a bit awkward).
