GIT : How to remove the untracked changes in Git

To remove the untracked changes in Git, you have a few options:

1. Delete the untracked files:
   • If you don’t need the untracked files, you can simply delete them.
   • Open a terminal or command prompt in the root directory of your Git repository.
   • Run the command: rm <file> (replace <file> with the name of the untracked file).
   • Repeat the command for each untracked file you want to remove.
2. Remove all untracked files:
   • If you have multiple untracked files and want to remove them all at once, you can use the git clean command.
   • Open a terminal or command prompt in the root directory of your Git repository.
   • Run the command: git clean -f.
   • This command removes all untracked files and directories. Be cautious as this operation is not reversible, and it will permanently delete the untracked files.

Once you have removed the untracked files, you should be able to perform the merge without encountering the “untracked working tree files would be overwritten” error.
