You can probably use something like

git clean -xdf

To get rid of all the artifacts not tracked by git, in this case it’s virtually the same as deleting the repo and re-cloning it.

If they’re leaving them there, I’d be all for it

It isn’t indeed, most people that are actually working in Italy don’t want it. It doesn’t help, it just gets people stuck not working indefinitely

This is always relevant
