Often, my editor(s) leave behind some temporary or backup files that I don't want:
$ git status
On branch bugfix/VF-7129-resolver-web-service-returns-incorrect
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/bugfix/VF-7129-resolver-web-service-returns-incorrect'.
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
engine/engine-resolver/src/main/java/com/escenic/resolver/#ResolverServlet.java#
engine/engine-resolver/src/main/java/com/escenic/resolver/.#ResolverServlet.java
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
I could of course remove these with rm -- <file>, but it's much
faster and less error prone to use the git command. To have Git do
the house cleaning, just do:
$ git clean -f
Removing engine/engine-resolver/src/main/java/com/escenic/resolver/#ResolverServlet.java#
Removing engine/engine-resolver/src/main/java/com/escenic/resolver/.#ResolverServlet.java
That's it, your project workspace is nice and clean again 😃
