remove
In that case make sure you only remove the staged version, and add the file to your .gitignore to avoid making the same mistake a second time:
git reset filename # or git remove --cached filename
echo filename >> .gitingore # add it to .gitignore to avoid re-adding it
Remove a file from git without removing it from your file system
If you are not careful during a git add, you may end up adding files that you didn’t want to commit.
However, git rm will remove it from both your staging area, as well as your file system, which may not be what is needed.
The file should be removed only from Git-repository without removing it from the file system.
