.SH NAME
git-clean \- Remove untracked files from the working tree
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.nf
\fIgit\-clean\fR [\-d] [\-n] [\-q] [\-x | \-X]
.fi

.SH "DESCRIPTION"


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

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
\-d
Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files\&.

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

.TP
\-q
Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are successfully removed\&.

.TP
\-x
Don't use the ignore rules\&. This allows removing all untracked files, including build products\&. This can be used (possibly in conjunction with \fBgit\-reset\fR(1)) to create a pristine working directory to test a clean build\&.

.TP
\-X
Remove only files ignored by git\&. This may be useful to rebuild everything from scratch, but keep manually created files\&.
