Git repos have lots of write protected files in the .git
directory, sometimes hundreds, and the default rm my_project_managed_by_git
will prompt before deleting each write protected file. So, to actually delete my project I have to do rm -rf my_project_managed_by_git
.
Using rm -rf
scares me. Is there a reasonable way to delete git repos without it?
I think that’s the situation OP is in… They don’t trust themself with these kinds of commands, while other commenters here are trying to convince them that they should just use rm -rf anyway
