| ============ |

| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <path>... |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| This allows cleaning the working tree by removing files that are not |
| under version control. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| -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. |
