you probably search: git add -u

Mafro's post seems the most effective. If you wrap it in quotes it will even work with paths with spaces, the others fail. git rm "$(git ls-files -d)"

bash code which is the cleanest (in my humble opinion):


$ git rm $(git ls-files -d)

I'm not sure, but I think that's what "git clean" is for. Maybe "git clean -f" ?

I was looking for this, but now found that git add -u It deletes all removed files and updates what was modified. Just doesn't add new files. It's better because if you have a file named "deleted.txt" it will also be removed.
