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. + +-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. + + +Author +------ +Written by Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> + + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
