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?
More like, I’m afraid of the command doing more than I’m trying to do.
What I want to do is ignore prompts about write-protected files in the
.gitdirectory, what it does is ignore all prompts for all files.
