Sometimes you just want to get rid of all the local untracked files.
If you are sure of what you're doing (because there is no way to get back ! ) you can use
git clean
To check before , in a safe way, which files you're going to delete
---> -n option
git clean -n
To delete the files for real ( as we said, be careful !) ---> -f option:
git clean -f
To delete directories too, add -d option
git clean -n -d
git clean -f -d
You can run the above commands in an interactive way as well
git clean -n -d -i
git clean -f -d -i
P.S.
- If you're not totally self-confident, a safer option would be to run
to remove everything but saving it in the stash*git stash --all
Did I write anything wrong ? Or you have better ideas? Please share it in the comments :-)
