Jenkins / JENKINS-29893 Allow exclusions for git clean Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Nicolas De Loof Components: git-plugin Created: 11/Aug/15 1:35 PM Priority: Minor Reporter: sseidel I would like to suggest an option to allow exclusions for git clean. Currently, when "Clean workspace" is selected, "git clean -fdx" is run, which is a great way of starting with a pristine build directory. However, if for Maven projects a "Local to the workspace" M2 repository is selected, the clean command will also clean away the repository, which will cause hundreds of artifacts to be re-downloaded. Even though a maven proxy makes this les worse, it would be nice if there was an option to allow exclusions from the clean (git clean -fdx -e <pattern>). Add Comment

Re: Allow exclusions for git clean If we implement exclusions for clean, we should also include implementing timeout for clean, since it would change the same part of the user interface.

Re: Allow exclusions for git clean

Any news? I would like to see "Clean before checkout" behaviour to have an option to add an exclude pattern:   https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clean   Now I'm executing the command myself without using this behaviour as it does not support it. Example: 'git clean -fdx -e MyFolderToExclude'

Re: Allow exclusions for git clean

I have no plans currently to implement this in the plugin. It is simple to call the git clean command from Jenkins Pipeline and is not much more difficult to call it from Freestyle jobs.

Re: Allow exclusions for git clean

I have no plans currently to implement this in the plugin.  It is simple to call the {{git clean}} command from Jenkins Pipeline and is not much more difficult to call it from Freestyle jobs.

The {{git clean}} command does not require authentication, so does not need the added logic that the git plugin provides for authentication support.

I know that. It's what I'm currently doing. But it would be nice that we could do it in "Clean before checkout" behaviour on Jenkins UI because everywhere where we are calling "checkout scm" uses that configuration. In this case I need to make two lines in my Jenkinsfile. 1-"git clean", 2-"checkout scm". In pipelines that you have stash and unstash you need to copy this code everywhere.

Re: Allow exclusions for git clean

+1 for the script/pipeline maintenance of modifying everywhere that uses 'checkout scm'
