Clean commands
---------------

Sometimes it is useful to reset the local working copy of git repository as if it was a fresh clone, thus removing also files that are in `.gitignore`.

Be careful if you have some specific configurations which are not checked in because everything will be deleted.

Simply run the following command:

::

  git clean -fdx


The options:

- ``-f`` for forcing
- ``-d`` for including directories
- ``-e`` for removing untracked files

You can also make a dry run (just show the list of files that will be deleted, but do not delete) with the `-n` option

::

  git clean -xdn
