Remove accidentally committed files from git

.gitforget.md

Add files to be forgotten to your .gitignore file:

echo "[filename1.ext] \n[filename2.ext] \n[evenafulldirectory/]" >> .gitignore

From root of the repo run:

git rm -r --cached . > /dev/null && git add --all

Then commit changes:

git commit -m "remove gitignored files"

Or if you don't want to add a new commit:

git commit --amend --no-edit

Note: The last command appends the new changes to the last commit(!)
