My gitclean command. Prompts if you'd like to proceed with delete.

gitclean.sh

# uses gum: https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum
gitclean() {
  DIRTY=$(git clean -Xdn | sed 's/Would remove //g')

  gum style \
    --foreground 196 --border thick --border-foreground 88 \
    --margin "1 2" --padding "1 3" "$DIRTY"

  gum confirm "🧹 Delete these?" \
    && git clean -Xdf \
    || echo "Still dirty."
}

gitclean_old.zsh

# simple zsh
gitclean() {
  git clean -Xdn
  if read -q REPLY\?"Clean these? (Y/y)"; then
    git clean -Xdf
  else
    echo "Still dirty."
  fi
}
