xt-clean

---

xt-clean command removes all automatically generated files from the project directories.

---

Clean operation iterates over files and directories listed in the project .gitignore file, and removes all ignored files and directories, except node_modules/, .idea/, and .vscode/. .idea is a collection of configuration files used by WebStorm IDE, and .vscode is the same for Visual Studio Code. The IDE will generate them automatically if they are absent. To remove these three directories, you must explicitly pass a flag to delete each directory respectively.

Commands

Braces { } indicate that the user must choose one (and only one) of the items inside the braces.
