Update git branch after deleting a file from local system

Question

I have deleted a file in my local system. Now I would like to update the locale branch + remote branch . So that the file is removed from the remote branch as well.

I did

git add -u

It deletes the removed file from the local branch but the file still stays in remote branch.

How can I delete the file from remote branch too?

Answer 1

You have to commit your changes (the deletion of 1 file):

git commit -m "One file deletion"

And push it to remote branch:

git push

Answer 2

you need to push your changes to remove using. Ensure you pull the latest code first

git pull
git commit -m "Your message"
git push

Answer 3

Try removing the cached files:

git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -m "cached problems"
git push

Answer 4

Remove a file from local repository should automatically reflect itself on the remote repository once you pushed it.

You first need to commit your changes though:

git commit -m "Removed a file"

And after that push your code with git push

If you want to keep your local file, but remove it from online you'll have to use the

git rm <file-name> --cached

as the answers above stated + you'll need to add it to your .gitignore file so any changes to that file would be ignored.
