I feel dumb: Why git rm -rf and not rm -rf? O.o

git rm -rf is only usable within the scope of the git repository and removes files in the staging area and working directory but doesnt affect untracked files or .git. rm -rf affects everything. For this case rm -rf probably would be the better option
edit: did a quick edit on the meme to change it to rm -rf since it makes more sense

Never heard of it, makes total sense, but I’d guess 95% of developers just nuke the directory raw.
