git-clean: Forcefully delete files that are not tracked by Git.
$ git clean -f
try on your machine
The command "git clean -f" is used to remove untracked files from the current working directory in a Git repository.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "git clean" is the command to remove untracked files.
- "-f" is an option that forces the clean operation without any prompt for confirmation. It stands for "force".
When you run "git clean -f", Git will search for any untracked files or directories in your current working directory and delete them permanently without any further prompts. These untracked files are typically files that have not been added or committed to the repository.
It's important to note that this command is irreversible, and once you run it, your untracked files will be permanently deleted. So make sure you double-check before running this command to avoid losing any important work.
