GIT−CLEAN

NAME

git-clean − Remove untracked files from the working tree

SYNOPSIS

git−clean [−d] [−f] [−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.

−f

If the git configuration specifies clean.requireForce as true, git−clean will refuse to run unless given −f or −n.

−n, −−dry−run

Don´t actually remove anything, just show what would be done.

−q, −−quiet

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 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.
