The command "pre-commit clean" is used in the context of a code repository that has the "pre-commit" tool installed.
The "pre-commit" tool is a framework that allows developers to set up hooks or tasks that are automatically executed before making a commit to the repository. These tasks can include steps like code formatting, linting, running tests, etc.
The "clean" command in "pre-commit clean" is one of the predefined tasks provided by the "pre-commit" tool. When executed, it performs a cleanup operation on the repository by removing any temporary or generated files that might have been created during the development process.
By running "pre-commit clean" before making a commit, developers can ensure that the repository is in a clean state, free of any unwanted or unnecessary files. This helps in maintaining code quality and preventing the addition of unnecessary files to the repository.
