If the matching files or folders are managed by `git`, theyʼll be deleted and marked as `deleted` in staging area. Otherwise, theyʼll be deleted permanently (not to the trash).

## How does it work?

* Filters the files that should be deleted by using [globby](https://github.com/sindresorhus/globby)

* Maps the matching paths _one-by-one_ to be included in `git rm -rf` command

* Uses [rimraf](https://github.com/isaacs/rimraf) if the matching item isnʼt managed by `git`

* These processes run concurrently

## Installation

```sh

npm install --global force-del-cli

```

## Usage

```

$ force-del --help

  Usage

    $ force-del [ ...]

  Options

    --cwd=  Current working directory

    --verbose    List deleted files

  Examples

    $ force-del silly-faces.jpg

    $ force-del '*.jpg' '!too-cute.jpg'

    $ force-del foo --cwd=../bar

```
