SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'git clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <paths>...
+'git clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <path>...
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.
+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.
