Untrack A Directory Of Files Without Deleting

In Untrack A File Without Deleting It, I explained how a specific file can be removed from tracking without actually deleting the file from the local file system. The same can be done for a directory of files that you don't want tracked. Just use the -r flag:

$ git rm --cached -r <directory>
