git reset filepath
This will remove the file from add index and the changes will remain on your local system.

You simply have to delete it form the index using this simply rrm command:
git rm --cached <file name>
If you will use
git rm <file>
it will remove it from both your file directory and your index, using the --cache flag will only remove it from your index.
Once you have removed the file you have to commit the change so use the git commit --ammend to modify the last commit.
It will remove the file from the last commit along side with all other changes which you have made.
