💅 git-secret-clean — the manual, but make it slay

okay bestie, welcome to GIT-SECRET-CLEAN, part of the git-secret family 💖 this is the one that ✨ yeets ✨ your hidden files. let's get into it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

git-secret-clean — it removes all the hidden files. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's effective, she's giving cleanup era 🧹✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git secret clean [-v]

one command, one optional flag, zero drama 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ git-secret-clean deletes all the files in your current git-secret repo that end with .secret. every single one. she is not subtle about it and honestly? iconic.

and listen — you can change which extension git-secret uses for encrypted files with the SECRETS_EXTENSION environment variable 🌈 so if you've remixed your setup, the extension she's hunting for changes too. iykyk.

⚠️ not me dropping a warning bestie — she will delete any files ending in .secret, even if they are not tracked by git-secret. like, she doesn't check the guest list. if it ends in .secret, it's gone. fr fr.
🙈 also important: this command does not delete unencrypted versions of files. so your plain, unlocked, un-secret little guys are safe. she only comes for the .secret ones 💀

verbose mode, which you turn on with the -v option, shows you the filenames she deleted 👑 because sometimes you just wanna watch.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -v — verbose mode, shows which files are deleted. she'll narrate the whole thing for you 📢
  • -h — shows this help. your little "what was i doing again" button 🫶

you can also enable verbosity using the SECRETS_VERBOSE environment variable, as documented at git-secret(7) https://git-secret.io/ 🌟
