git-clean(1) Manual Page

</h1>

<h2>NAME</h2>

<div class="sectionbody">

<p>git-clean -

Remove untracked files from the working tree

</p>

</div>

</div>

<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>

<div class="sectionbody">

<div class="verseblock">

<div class="content"><em>git clean</em> [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-e &lt;pattern&gt;] [-x | -X] [--] &lt;path&gt;&#8230;</div></div>

</div>

<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<div class="sectionbody">

<div class="para"><p>Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not

under version control, starting from the current directory.</p></div>

<div class="para"><p>Normally, only files unknown to git are removed, but if the <em>-x</em>

option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for

example, be useful to remove all build products.</p></div>

<div class="para"><p>If any optional <tt>&lt;path&gt;&#8230;</tt> arguments are given, only those paths

are affected.</p></div>

</div>

<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>

<div class="sectionbody">

<div class="vlist"><dl>

<dt>

-d

</dt>

<dd>

<p>

Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.

If an untracked directory is managed by a different git

repository, it is not removed by default. Use -f option twice

if you really want to remove such a directory.

</p>

</dd>

<dt>

-f

</dt>

<dt>

--force

</dt>

<dd>

<p>

If the git configuration variable clean.requireForce is not set

to false, <em>git clean</em> will refuse to run unless given -f or -n.

</p>

</dd>

<dt>

-n

</dt>

<dt>

--dry-run

</dt>

<dd>

<p>

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

</p>

</dd>

<dt>

-q

</dt>

<dt>

--quiet

</dt>

<dd>

<p>

Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are

successfully removed.

</p>

</dd>

<dt>

-e &lt;pattern&gt;

</dt>

<dt>

--exclude=&lt;pattern&gt;

</dt>

<dd>

<p>

Specify special exceptions to not be cleaned. Each &lt;pattern&gt; is

the same form as in $GIT_DIR/info/excludes and this option can be

given multiple times.

</p>

</dd>

<dt>

-x

</dt>

<dd>

<p>

Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked

files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in

conjunction with <em>git reset</em>) to create a pristine

working directory to test a clean build.

</p>

</dd>

<dt>

-X

</dt>

<dd>

<p>

Remove only files ignored by git. This may be useful to rebuild

everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.

</p>

</dd>
