git-clean(1)
============

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

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-clean' [-d] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Removes files unknown to git.  This allows to clean the working tree
from files that are not under version control.  If the '-x' option is
specified, ignored files are also removed, allowing to remove all
build products.

OPTIONS
-------
-d::
	Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.

-n::
	Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.

-q::
	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 gitlink:git-reset[1]) 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.
