+In case the file was newly added to the commit and you want to remove it (from Git alone), do:
+
+```sh
+$ git rm --cached myfile
+$ git commit --amend --no-edit
+```
+
 This is particularly useful when you have an open patch and you have committed an unnecessary file, and need to force push to update the patch on a remote. The `--no-edit` option is used to keep the existing commit message.
