+NAME
+----
+git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-e <pattern>] [-x | -X] [--] <path>...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not
+under version control, starting from the current directory.
+
+Normally, only files unknown to git are removed, but if the '-x'
+option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for
+example, be useful to remove all build products.
+
+If any optional `<path>...` arguments are given, only those paths
+are affected.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-d::
+	Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
+	If an untracked directory is managed by a different git
+	repository, it is not removed by default.  Use -f option twice
+	if you really want to remove such a directory.
+
+-f::
+--force::
+	If the git configuration variable clean.requireForce is not set
+	to false, 'git clean' will refuse to run unless given -f or -n.
+
+-n::
+--dry-run::
+	Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
+
+-q::
+--quiet::
+	Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are
+	successfully removed.
+
+-e <pattern>::
+--exclude=<pattern>::
+	In addition to those found in .gitignore (per directory) and
+	$GIT_DIR/info/exclude, also consider these patterns to be in the
+	set of the ignore rules in effect.
+
+-x::
+	Don't use the standard ignore rules read from .gitignore (per
+	directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but do still use the ignore
+	rules given with `-e` options.  This allows removing all untracked
+	files, including build products.  This can be used (possibly in
+	conjunction with 'git reset') to create a pristine
+	working directory to test a clean build.
+
+-X::
+	Remove only files ignored by git.  This may be useful to rebuild
+	everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.
