 [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

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 

The above command will produce the following result:

 Counting objects: 5, done. 
Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 310 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)
