Raw
bit_rmcached.sh
# list the files in the index that are ignored via patterns in .gitignore
git ls-files -i --exclude-from=.gitignore
# remove these files - assuming filenames with no spaces or special characters
git rm --cached $(git ls-files -i --exclude-from=.gitignore)
# remove these files - assuming filenames with spaces (urgh!)
git ls-files -i --exclude-from=.gitignore -z | xargs -0 git rm --cached
