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:: + 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 linkgit: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. + + +Author +------ +Written by Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> + + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[7] suite |
