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?
Cd into the directory first, then run rm -rf, then cd back out and rm -r just the directory.
