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

   8 SYNOPSIS
   9 --------
  10 [verse]
  11 'git-clean' [-d] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X]
  12
  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15 Removes files unknown to git.  This allows to clean the working tree
  16 from files that are not under version control.  If the '-x' option is
  17 specified, ignored files are also removed, allowing to remove all
  18 build products.
  19
  20 OPTIONS
  21 -------
  22 -d::
  23         Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
  24
  25 -n::
  26         Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
  27
  28 -q::
  29         Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are
  30         successfully removed.
  31
  32 -x::
  33         Don't use the ignore rules.  This allows removing all untracked
  34         files, including build products.  This can be used (possibly in
  35         conjunction with gitlink:git-reset[1]) to create a pristine
  36         working directory to test a clean build.
  37
  38 -X::
  39         Remove only files ignored by git.  This may be useful to rebuild
  40         everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.
