The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-e <pattern>] [-x | -X] [--] <path>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
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 variable clean.requireForce is not set
|
|
to false, '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.
|
|
|
|
-e <pattern>::
|
|
--exclude=<pattern>::
|
|
Specify special exceptions to not be cleaned. Each <pattern> is
|
|
the same form as in $GIT_DIR/info/excludes and this option can be
|
|
given multiple times.
|
|
|
|
-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.
