Some git equivalents for Plastic

Question

What are the PlasticSCM equivalents to:

git clean -dxf
git clean -dx

I would like to remove every untracked file from my project tree, or every untracked, but not ignored, cloaked, or private, file from my project tree.

f you run "cm status --private", you should get a list of the private items not including ignored items. I guess you want to remove the private files (files stored in your workspace path but they are not under source control). In order to remove them: "cm status --private --short | xargs rm". — Carlos Alba Zamanillo, Mar 16 '20 at 15:57

There is no equivalent. PlasticSCM has declined to implement this feature

You can find the thought process of how to solve this problem here

I implemented this for windows batch like this:

REM - Delete private files
for /f %%a in ('cm status --private --compact --short %~1') do (
   REM - IF IS DIRECTORY
   IF EXIST %%~sa\NUL ( rmdir /s /q "%%a" ) ^
   else ( del /s /q "%%a" )
)

REM - Delete ignored files
for /f %%a in ('cm status --ignored --cutignored --compact --short %~1') do (
   REM - IF IS DIRECTORY
   IF EXIST %%~sa\NUL ( rmdir /s /q "%%a" ) ^
   else ( del /s /q "%%a" )
)
