Clean your Working Tree, Interactively
git clean
is a great command. It's the best tool in the box for wiping out untracked junk files from your working tree.
This command has a noteworthy optional flag, -i
, for interactive mode. This gives you the option to clean everything, select by number, ask each, and more. I see it as the reverse of git add -p
— we get granular control over what stays and what goes.
