Remove .pyc files from Git remote repository

Question

Accidentally, I have pushed the .pyc files to the master repository. Now I want to delete them but I can´t do it. Is there any way to remove them directly from the Bitbucket sit

Answer 1

Quick way with PyDev for eclipse.

Go to the PyDev Package Explorer of your project and do:

---

• right click + Pydev / Remove *.pyc *.pyo and *$py.class File

  a window will popup telling you how many files have been deleted.

Optional: Commit your change to the team/server:

• right click + team / commit

In the commit window you shouldn't see any .pyc available to add as we deleted them. Also if you committed such files before then you should be able to commit their "deletion" now.

===> Your local and server repository are now free of *.pyc *.pyo and *$py.class File :)
