Use git rm.
If you want to remove the file from the Git repository and the filesystem, use:
git rm file1.txt git commit -m "remove file1.txt"
But if you want to remove the file only from the Git repository and not remove it from the filesystem, use:
git rm --cached file1.txt git commit -m "remove file1.txt"
And to push changes to remote repo
git push origin branch_name
