I noticed I always google the same procedures...

## Remove a file from a commit

Direct remove without editing anything:

```
git reset HEAD^ -- path/to/file
git commit --amend --no-edit
```

Step-by-step:

```
git reset --soft HEAD~1
git reset HEAD path/to/unwanted_file
git commit -c ORIG_HEAD
```

## Only checkout a subset of files stored in `git` LFS

    GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 gh repo clone orgname/reponame

Then checkout only specific files:

    git lfs fetch --include="pattern*" --exclude=""
    git lfs checkout

## Configure git to automatically run git submodule update

This works when switching branches:

    git config --global submodule.recurse true
