| ============ |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git-clean' [-d] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <paths>... |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Removes files unknown to git. This allows to clean the working tree |
| from files that are not under version control. If the '-x' option is |
| specified, ignored files are also removed, allowing to remove all |
| build products. |
| When optional `<paths>...` arguments are given, the paths |
| affected are further limited to those that match them. |
| |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| -d:: |
| Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files. |
| |
| -n:: |
| Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done. |
| |
| -q:: |
| Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are |
| successfully removed. |
| |
| -x:: |
| Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked |
| files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in |
| conjunction with gitlink:git-reset[1]) to create a pristine |
| working directory to test a clean build. |
| |
| -X:: |
| Remove only files ignored by git. This may be useful to rebuild |
| everything from scratch, but keep manually created files. |
