Remove directory from git and local
You could checkout ‘master’ with both directories;
git rm -r one-of-the-directories // This deletes from filesystem
git commit . -m “Remove duplicated directory”
git push origin
Remove directory from git but NOT local
As mentioned in the comments, what you usually want to do is remove this directory from git but not delete it entirely from the filesystem (local)
In that case use:
git rm -r –cached myFolder
To remove folder/directory only from git repository and not from the local try 3 simple commands.
Steps to remove directory
git rm -r –cached FolderName
git commit -m “Removed folder from repository”
git push origin master
Steps to ignore that folder in next commits
To ignore that folder from next commits make one file in root folder (main project directory where the git is initialized) named .gitignore
and put that folder name into it. You can ignore as many files/folders as you want
.gitignore file will look like this
/FolderName
