How to Delete a File from Your Git Repository

1. Open Your Terminal or Command Prompt

    cd path/to/your/repository

    2. Remove the File Using Git

      git rm path/to/your/file

      For example, if you want to delete a file named old-file.txt in a directory called docs, you would run:

      git rm docs/old-file.txt

      3. Commit the Changes

        git commit -m "Remove file path/to/your/file"

        4. Push the Changes to a Remote Repository

          git push
