Remove Untracked Files and Directories
To remove untracked files and directories, use the following commands:
Untracked Files:
git clean -f
Untracked Directories:
git clean -fd
To see what will be removed before actually deleting the files, use:
git clean -n
Example: To demonstrate removing untracked files and directories in git.
git clean usage
Note: Here we can see that using git clean -n is informing user what would it remove then following git clean -f actually removed the untracked file dummy.py.
