Online Repository in Git: Delete Operation in Git

Tom updates the local repository and finds the compiled binary in the src directory. After observing the commit message, he realizes that this code is added by Jerry.

 [tom @ CentOS src] $ pwd 
 / home / tom / project / src 

 [tom @ CentOS src] $ ls 
 Makefile string_operations string_operations.c 

 [tom @ CentOS src] $ file string_operations 
 string_operations: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses 
 shared libs), for GNU / Linux 2.6.18, not stripped 

 [tom @ CentOS src] $ git log 
 commit 29af9d45947dc044e33d69b9141d8d2dad37cc62

 Added compiled binary 

VCS is only used to hold source code and does not represent binary code. So, Tom decided to remove these files from within the repository. For further operations, he uses the command git rm.

 [tom @ CentOS src] $ ls 
 Makefile string_operations string_operations.c 

 [tom @ CentOS src] $ git rm string_operations 
 rm 'src / string_operations' 

 [tom @ CentOS src] $ git commit -a -m "Removed executable binary" 

 [master 5776472] Removed executable binary 
 1 files changed, 0 insertions (+), 0 deletions (-) 
 delete mode 100755 src / string_operations 

After committing, he pushes the changes to the repository.

 [tom @ CentOS src] $ git push origin master
