To use:

  • Add it somewhere in your $PATH. I have mine in ~/bin.
  • Give executable permission. For example, chmod +x ~/bin/git-rmu
  • From somewhere in your git repository, run git rmu.

If you want the command to be something different, then just rename the file. If you would rather type git removeuntrackedfilesyesiamsure, then rename the file git-removeuntrackedfilesyesiamsure.
