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’ve shot myself in the foot enough times over the years with
rm -rf
. Now I use trash-cli. I don’t know what package manager(s) you use, but I install it via Homebrew.
