Git help needed - how to delete all the newly created files

[sitestreet]

I work between desktop and laptop and use a git repo as my way of keeping them in sync. However, sometimes it's been a while between working on a project on one of those devices and so I get into the situation where Wappler updates put lots of new files into the project and I can't do a pull until I'm dealt with those. So I want to delete the new files, do the pull and then let Wappler recreate the files again.

But, sometimes there are lots of these files and they are scattered all over the place so it takes ages finding and deleting them all.

I would have thought that clicking on the trash icon do 'Discard all changes' would remove them but it doesn't.

So, what's the best way to delete them all in one go.

See this screenshot to illustrate what I mean:

Conflicts prevent checkout

Hello everybody: I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong here, but I have a project on github. On thursday I made a push from the main computer, now on my laptop I’m seeing this: You can see in red the commit I made: [image] Obviously I have changes because this understand that files are not similar: [image] So I try to discard the changes in order to make a pull [image] I think after this, I should be able to make a pull. However there are 3 files that can’t be discarded [image] …

I think you just found a bug

I don’t know about the problem itself, but I always recommend using a proper Git client to solve conflicts and other complications. Git clients will always be more “battle-tested” when it comes to solving problems than Wappler’s built-in Git client

Also, you could ask ChatGPT for a command to Git discard all files

git clean ?

From Google search the description looks ok

Hmm, bizarrely that has removed about a third of them but certainly not all. No idea why it's only picked those though.

I did git clean -n and it didn't look like the whole list. Then I did git clean -f and it deleted those files and confirmed it was barely a third of them. I'm more than slightly confused!

UPDATE

The remaining files are whole directories so that explains why they were left.

git clean -nd previews them and then git clean -fd removes them so all is now sorted.
