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.
+
+Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not
+under version control, starting from the current directory.
+
+Normally, only files unknown to git are removed, but if the '-x'
+option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for
+example, be useful to remove all build products.
+
If any optional `<path>...` arguments are given, only those paths
are affected.
-
OPTIONS
-------
-d::
Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
+ If an untracked directory is managed by a different git
+ repository, it is not removed by default. Use -f option twice
+ if you really want to remove such a directory.
-f::
+--force::
If the git configuration specifies clean.requireForce as true,
'git-clean' will refuse to run unless given -f or -n.
