working with .git/info/exclude too late

by

To remove a file that you have added but not committed, use a command like this:

git rm --cached file.to.remove

This will remove the file from the index, but not touch the file on disk.

To remove a file (or files) from the most recent commit, use the above git rm --cached command followed by git commit --amend.
