Remove directory from web interface. #225

Closed cirosantilli closed 3 years ago

cirosantilli commented 10 years ago

Edit: done 6 years later: https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/225#issuecomment-760402810 | https://github.blog/changelog/2021-01-11-delete-directory-from-the-web/

It is currently possible to remove individual files from the web interface, but not entire directories at once.

Proposed UI implementation: add a delete button on the line of each directory on the tree view.

Extension 1: add such buttons for the files for greater uniformity and convenience (no need to click on the file first to delete it).

Extension 2: allow to delete any combination of files. Add select checkboxes next to each filename on the tree view and a delete button.

GitLab: http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/5590176-remove-directory-via-git-rm-rf-from-web-interface

Goal: allow people to use GitHub without installing Git or anything else locally.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's on the our internal Feature Request List for consideration.

Please implement this feature. I got an issue that on github web there are some folders which not exists on local repo. Even tried to pull and push, those folders are always there.

What else can we do to make it happen? We may need .. an hourglass, 3 goats, one of us has to learn the trumpet while the other one goes like this - i know a man with a goat. - good! i can go like this

With trends like modular testing, projects get more granular and could have many folders. GitHub should explain why they don't want or can't implement this so desperately needed functionality.

Why don't we stop the +1 (since everytime we get a new notification) and we just +1 on the cirosantilli's first post?

sailordiary commented 8 years ago

@elect86 You do realize you can mute the thread right...

elect86 commented 8 years ago

Yes, but I'd like to be mailed for some good news

Rosalie241 commented 8 years ago

@elect86 Then it's your own problem..don't complain when you can choose the things yourself.

elect86 commented 8 years ago

Actually it meant to be a kind suggestion ;)

I am stuck right now. I did some work at home and now I want to check out on windows. But it fails because of some illegal characters for windows in an unimportant directory name... Guess I have to delete all files in this dir file by fiel through webinterface :(
