git-clear-soft - Soft clean up a repository

git-clear-soft

Clears the repository to a state that it looks as if it was freshly cloned with the current HEAD, however, preserving all changes that are located in files and directories listed in .gitignore. It is a git-reset --hard together with deletion of all untracked files that reside inside the working directory, excluding those in .gitignore.

Clears the repo.

$ git clear-soft
