Remove directory from git and local (从git和local中删除目录)

You could checkout 'master' with both directories; (你可以用两个目录签出'master';)

git rm -r one-of-the-directories
git commit -m "Remove duplicated directory"
git push origin <your-git-branch> (typically 'master', but not always)

Remove directory from git but NOT local (从git中删除目录但不是本地的)

As mentioned in the comments, what you usually want to do is remove this directory from git but not delete it entirely from the filesystem (local) (正如评论中所提到的，你通常要做的是从git中删除这个目录，但不要完全从文件系统中删除它（本地）)

In that case use: (在这种情况下使用：)

git rm -r --cached myFolder
