git-secret-remove - removes files from index.
=============================================

## SYNOPSIS

    git secret remove [-c] <pathspec>...


## DESCRIPTION
`git-secret-remove` - stops files from being tracked by `git-secret`.

This deletes filenames from `.gitsecret/paths/mapping.cfg`, 
which stops these files from being tracked by `git-secret`, and from
being encrypted to, or decrypted from, `.secret` encrypted versions.

There's also a -c option to delete existing encrypted versions of the files provided.

Note unlike `add`, which automatically add pathnames to `.gitignore`, 
`remove` does not delete pathnames from `.gitignore`.

(See [git-secret(7)](https://git-secret.io/git-secret) for information about renaming the .gitsecret
folder using the `SECRETS_DIR` environment variable.


## OPTIONS

    -c  - deletes existing real encrypted files.
    -h  - shows help.
