git-rm: Remove directory.
$ git rm -r ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

This command is used in Git to remove a directory and its contents from the repository.

  • git rm is the command used to remove files and directories from Git's version control.
  • -r is an option that tells Git to remove the directory recursively, meaning it will remove all the files and subdirectories within the specified directory.
  • ${path-to-directory} specifies the path to the directory that you want to remove. You should replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory on your system.

For example, if you want to remove a directory called "docs" located in the current directory, the command would look like this: git rm -r docs.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
