There is no single author listed, the credits are to the
GitHub team, so match up narration to fit that angle.

Pulls it back from single author perspective driving it that
may have existed long ago.

<p><code>git rm</code> will remove entries from the staging area.
This is a bit different from <code>git reset HEAD</code> which "unstages"
files. By "unstage" I mean it reverts the staging area to what was
files. To "unstage" means it reverts the staging area to what was
there before we started modifying things. <code>git rm</code> on the
other hand just kicks the file off the stage entirely, so that it's not
included in the next commit snapshot, thereby effectively deleting it.</p>
