When the SYNOPSIS says e.g. "<path>...", it is nice if the DESCRIPTION also mentions "<path>..." and says the specified "paths" (note plural) are used for $whatever. This fixes the obvious mismatches. Signed-off-by: Abhijit Menon-Sen <ams@toroid.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

|
|
git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'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.
|
|
If any optional `<path>...` arguments are given, only those paths
|
|
are affected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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::
|
|
--dry-run::
|
|
Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
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 'git-reset') 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.
