8,389 Pointsremoving directories in git
hey folks, having trouble removing directories that have files in them. in the command line i'll do: rm -r tested_repo then i'll get a message like this: override r--r--r-- Username/staff for tested_repo/.git/objects/66/2d0e94c13a4fb635dffbc09dc9238f7f1d2bd7? not sure how to override that message to rm the directory i want.
also when trying to commit: git init "directory" nano "add a file" inside nano- 'made changes etc.' saved git add 'file' git commit 'file' when i try to make changes it seems as though i'm unable to save these changes- anyone know why that is? seems i can't hit control+x to save the changes and push....
thoughts?

Treehouse TeacherYou can override the message when deleting the directory like Jeremy suggested:
sudo rm -r tested_repoBut the message you're getting indicates you're deleting the actual git repo (the .git directory) -- is that what you want to do?
