Linux Shell-删除名称以.git开头的文件夹，该文件夹是内部文件夹的一部分

Question

here is a sample directory structure/tree

main_directory-|- folder1
               |- folder2
               |- folder3
               |- folder4 -|- .git
                           |- my_project
                           |- some_other_files

assume I'm in the main directory.

admin@admin:~/$ cd main_directory
admin@admin:~/main_directory$

here I want to execute some command which will delete all folders whose name starts with .git RECURSIVELY.

What I was trying = rm -r .git* its not working. or may be using someother command, eg mv but I dont have any clue about that.

problem is I have many such folders and each of them has one or more .git so I cannot go manually in each directory and delete git folder.

Answer 1

find . -name .git -exec rm -r {} \\;
