1git-clean(1) 2============ 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10[verse] 11'git-clean' [-d] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15Removes files unknown to git. This allows to clean the working tree 16from files that are not under version control. If the '-x' option is 17specified, ignored files are also removed, allowing to remove all 18build products. 19 20OPTIONS 21------- 22-d:: 23 Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files. 24 25-n:: 26 Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done. 27 28-q:: 29 Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are 30 successfully removed. 31 32-x:: 33 Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked 34 files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in 35 conjunction with gitlink:git-reset[1]) to create a pristine 36 working directory to test a clean build. 37 38-X:: 39 Remove only files ignored by git. This may be useful to rebuild 40 everything from scratch, but keep manually created files. 41 42 43Author 44------ 45Written by Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> 46 47 48GIT 49--- 50Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite
