Remove a directory from a remote Git repo without deleting it locally.

Stop tracking an entire directory. This is useful after having added the directory to .gitignore.

git rm -r --cached <your directory>

• rm
  • Remove files from the working tree and from the index.
• -r
  • Allow recursive removal when a leading directory name is given.
• --cached
  • Remove files from the index only (not the working tree).
