How do I remove a directory subtree from the staging area?

In #git, you said you unintentionally added a directory that should have been ignored, so run

git rm --cached -r directory-name

to recursively remove the tree rooted at directory-name from the index.

Don't forget to update .gitignore!

git gitignore git-add

You can just use the command:

git reset

git gitignore git-add

Make sure you remember to put the s in --global core.excludesfile .gitignore.txt

excludesfile vs excludefile

Maybe this will save someone else the hour I lost...
