NAME

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
Add clean.requireForce option, and add -f option to git-clean to override it Add a new configuration option clean.requireForce. If set, git-clean will refuse to run, unless forced with the new -f option, or not acting due to -n. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

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.
Teach git-clean optional <paths>... parameters. When optional paths arguments are given, git-clean passes them to underlying git-ls-files; with this, you can say: git clean 'temp-*' to clean only the garbage files whose names begin with 'temp-'.

When optional `<paths>...` arguments are given, the paths
affected are further limited to those that match them.

-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.
