PR doesn't require documentation updates

This could be noted in https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/remove. Instead of "removes all of its outputs (outs field), and optionally...":

"deletes all of its output files or directories (outs field), removes them from .gitignore, and optionally..."

Maybe even the examples should show this and include git add/remove and commit to indicate how to save the change to the repo.

p.s. unrelated question on remove @efiop: If this is the only stage in dvc.yaml does dvc.yaml remain empty, or does it get removed? (along with dvc.lock). Thanks

@jorgeorpinel should description for dvc remove -h be updated as well? If so, what should go first - updates in core repo or in documentation?

It is the easiest to just try that and see :) But yes, both remain empty. Could clean that up a bit, for sure. Created #4090 Thanks for the heads up!

@nik123 Could start with core repo. Thanks! 🙏

@efiop , @jorgeorpinel : I checked cmd ref and ran into other problems which I think should be addressed before .gitignore. For details see #4094

@nik123 thanks! Yes, if the core repo needs an update to the help output that would come first, and then update everything on the docs side 🙂
