6 git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree
11 'git-clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <paths>...
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
19 When optional `<paths>...` arguments are given, the paths
20 affected are further limited to those that match them.
26 Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
29 If the git configuration specifies clean.requireForce as true,

33 Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
36 Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are
40 Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked
41 files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in
42 conjunction with linkgit:git-reset[1]) to create a pristine
43 working directory to test a clean build.
46 Remove only files ignored by git. This may be useful to rebuild
47 everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.
