Interactive mode
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
When the command enters the interactive mode, it shows the
|
||||||
|
files and directories to be cleaned, and goes into its
|
||||||
|
interactive command loop.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and
|
||||||
|
gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends
|
||||||
|
with a single '>', you can pick only one of the choices given
|
||||||
|
and type return, like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
*** Commands ***
|
||||||
|
1: clean 2: filter by pattern 3: select by numbers
|
||||||
|
4: ask each 5: quit 6: help
|
||||||
|
What now> 1
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You also could say `c` or `clean` above as long as the choice is unique.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The main command loop has 6 subcommands.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
clean::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Start cleaning files and directories, and then quit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
filter by pattern::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This shows the files and directories to be deleted and issues an
|
||||||
|
"Input ignore patterns>>" prompt. You can input space-seperated
|
||||||
|
patterns to exclude files and directories from deletion.
|
||||||
|
E.g. "*.c *.h" will excludes files end with ".c" and ".h" from
|
||||||
|
deletion. When you are satisfied with the filtered result, press
|
||||||
|
ENTER (empty) back to the main menu.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
select by numbers::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This shows the files and directories to be deleted and issues an
|
||||||
|
"Select items to delete>>" prompt. When the prompt ends with double
|
||||||
|
'>>' like this, you can make more than one selection, concatenated
|
||||||
|
with whitespace or comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9"
|
||||||
|
to choose 2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. If the second number in a
|
||||||
|
range is omitted, all remaining patches are taken. E.g. "7-" to
|
||||||
|
choose 7,8,9 from the list. You can say '*' to choose everything.
|
||||||
|
Also when you are satisfied with the filtered result, press ENTER
|
||||||
|
(empty) back to the main menu.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ask each::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will start to clean, and you must confirm one by one in order
|
||||||
|
to delete items. Please note that this action is not as efficient
|
||||||
|
as the above two actions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
quit::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This lets you quit without do cleaning.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
help::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Show brief usage of interactive git-clean.
