💅 stg-clean 💅

okay so bestie, this is the StGit Manual page for stg-clean, and it is literally the cleanup crew for your patch series ✨🧹

🌸 NAME 🌸

stg-clean — delete empty patches from the series 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

stg clean [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

By default, stg clean deletes the empty patches from the entire series. You can also tell it to delete only empty patches from the applied patches, or only empty patches from the unapplied patches.

A patch is considered empty if its tree is the same as its parent. That is the vibe check: no tree difference, no patch 🙈💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -A, --applied — delete empty applied patches 🌸
• -U, --unapplied — delete empty unapplied patches 🦋
