|
|
|
Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not
|
|
|
|
|
under version control, starting from the current directory.
|
2009-04-25 17:13:41 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, only files unknown to git are removed, but if the '-x'
|
|
|
|
|
option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for
|
|
|
|
|
example, be useful to remove all build products.

|
|
|
If any optional `<path>...` arguments are given, only those paths
|
|
|
|
|
are affected.

OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
-d::
|
|
|
|
|
Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
|
2009-07-01 00:33:45 +02:00
|
|
|
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.

2007-04-24 02:18:16 +02:00
|
|
|
-f::
|
2009-08-29 11:05:00 +02:00
|
|
|
--force::
|
2010-02-04 17:01:16 +01:00
|
|
|
If the git configuration variable clean.requireForce is not set
|
|
|
|
|
to false, 'git clean' will refuse to run unless given -f or -n.
|

|
|
|
|
2006-04-05 08:00:48 +02:00
|
|
|
-n::
|
2008-06-08 03:36:10 +02:00
|
|
|
--dry-run::
|
2006-04-05 08:00:48 +02:00
|
|
|
Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
2008-06-08 03:36:10 +02:00
|
|
|
--quiet::
|
2006-04-05 08:00:48 +02:00
|
|
|
Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are
|
|
|
|
|
successfully removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-07-20 21:35:56 +02:00
|
|
|
-e <pattern>::
|
|
|
|
|
--exclude=<pattern>::
|
|
|
|
|
Specify special exceptions to not be cleaned. Each <pattern> is
|
|
|
|
|
the same form as in $GIT_DIR/info/excludes and this option can be
|
|
|
|
|
given multiple times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-04-05 08:00:48 +02:00
|
|
|
-x::
|
|
|
|
|
Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked
|
|
|
|
|
files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in
|
2010-01-10 00:33:00 +01:00
|
|
|
conjunction with 'git reset') to create a pristine
|
2006-04-05 08:00:48 +02:00
|
|
|
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.
