| 6 | git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree | |

| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 10 | [verse] | |
| f448e24e | 11 | 'git clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <path>... |

| 13 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ----------- | |
| 911198f6 | 15 | |
| 6a260f53 JH |
16 | Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not |
| 17 | under version control, starting from the current directory. | |
| 911198f6 WL |
18 | |
| 19 | Normally, only files unknown to git are removed, but if the '-x' | |
| 20 | option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for | |
| 21 | example, be useful to remove all build products. | |

23 | If any optional `<path>...` arguments are given, only those paths |
| 24 | are affected. | |

26 | OPTIONS |
| 27 | ------- | |
| 28 | -d:: | |
| 29 | Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files. | |
| a0f4afbe JH |
30 | If an untracked directory is managed by a different git |
| 31 | repository, it is not removed by default. Use -f option twice | |
| 32 | if you really want to remove such a directory. | |
| c3b831bd | 33 | |
| 2122591b | 34 | -f:: |
| f7aec129 | 35 | --force:: |
| 0fc4baeb | 36 | If the git configuration specifies clean.requireForce as true, |
| ba020ef5 | 37 | 'git-clean' will refuse to run unless given -f or -n. |
| 2122591b | 38 | |
| c3b831bd | 39 | -n:: |
| 459cf2e9 | 40 | --dry-run:: |
| c3b831bd PR |
41 | Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done. |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | -q:: | |
| 459cf2e9 | 44 | --quiet:: |
| c3b831bd PR |
45 | Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are |
| 46 | successfully removed. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | -x:: | |
| 49 | Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked | |
| 50 | files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in | |
| ba020ef5 | 51 | conjunction with 'git-reset') to create a pristine |
| c3b831bd PR |
52 | working directory to test a clean build. |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | -X:: | |
| 55 | Remove only files ignored by git. This may be useful to rebuild | |
| 56 | everything from scratch, but keep manually created files. | |
