git clean

Remove files not tracked by Git from the working tree. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clean.

• Interactively delete untracked files:

git clean {{[-i|--interactive]}}

• Show which files would be deleted without actually deleting them:

git clean {{[-n|--dry-run]}}

• Immediately force deletion of all untracked files:

git clean {{[-f|--force]}}

• Delete untracked [d]irectories:

git clean {{[-f|--force]}} -d

• Delete only untracked files matching specific paths or glob patterns:

git clean {{[-f|--force]}} -- {{path/to/directory}} '{{*.ext}}'

• Delete untracked files except those matching the given patterns:

git clean {{[-f|--force]}} {{[-e|--exclude]}} {{'*.ext'}} {{[-e|--exclude]}} {{path/to/directory}}/

• Delete untracked files and e[x]cluded files (those listed in .gitignore and .git/info/exclude):

git clean {{[-f|--force]}} -x
