Finding and removing files added to git by accident
Finding and removing files added to git by accident

If for example, you've added lib files by mistake to a large git repo, and want to remove them, but don't know the exact paths, use this:
git ls-files *.lib>lib.bat
Then in lib.bat you may have e.g.:
Plugins/Media/Intermediate/Build/Win64/DebugMediaEditor/MediaEditor-Win64-Debug.lib
Add git rm --cached to the front of each line, then run the batch file and commit the result.
