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?
Generally that is not a concern because regular users won’t be able to
rm
anything else other than those in his own $HOME.Another thing I want to say is, command line is for careful users. If someone is careless, they should create a wrapper around
rm
, or just use a FM.
