git tips
To list untracked files git ls-files --others --exclude-standard If you need to pipe the output to xargs, it is wise to mind white spaces using git ls-files -z and xargs -0: git ls-files -z -o --exclude-standard | xargs -0 git add Nice alias for adding untracked files: au = !git add $(git ls-files -o --exclude-standard) Delete untracked files: git clean -dfx
