============
NAME
----
git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <paths>...
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.
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 linkgit:git-reset[1]) 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.
