How to remove a directory from github?

Question

I have a folder in vendor/plugins/ which I deleted and passed as a delete in my github. But the folder still exists on github.

How to remove it from github? This may be a submodule. I'm not quite sure.

Try it:

 git rm -r vendor/plugins git commit -m "Your comment here" git push -u origin master

Deletes your directory first
The second one makes your commit
Third push your change

 git rm -rf --cached $FILES

e.g. git rm --cached -r .idea

I found this blog useful when I wanted to remove unnecessary hidden directories.

You can try git rm -rf vendor/plugins to remove it recursively. You will need to do it again.
