clean untracked files
rm $(git ls-files --other --exclude-standard)
You can setup git alias for this in your .git/config file:
[alias]
clean-untracked = !sh -c 'rm $(git ls-files --other --exclude-standard)' -
then you can use it as a normal git command:
git clean-untracked

Why not git clean -df?
To show what will be removed you can use git clean -ndf.
Also clean-untracked may leave empty directories but git clean removes untracked directories entirely.
