What if i want to remove untracked file of git ?
# WARNING: this can't be undone!
git reset --hard HEAD
git clean -f -d
git pullWARNING: git clean deletes all your untracked files/directories and can't be undone.
Consider using -n (--dry-run) flag first. This will show you what will be deleted without actually deleting anything:
git clean -n -f -dExample output will be like
Would remove untracked-file1.txt
Would remove untracked-file2.txt
Would remove untracked/folder

git clean -fdProductive Trick :
git pull --rebaseThis above command is the most useful command in my Git life which saved a lot of time.
Before pushing your newly commit to server, try this command and it will automatically synchronise the latest server changes (with a fetch + merge) and will place your commit at the top in the Git log. There isn’t any need to worry about manual pull/merge.
what actually above command do ?
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/fooFind details in What does “git pull — rebase” do?.
