allows you to control
whether or not you require the
`git clean`
command to be executed for each CI
job.
By default, GitLab ensures that you have your worktree on the given SHA,
and that your repository is clean.
`GIT_CLEAN_FLAGS`
is disabled when set to
`none`
. On very big repositories, this
might be desired because
`git clean`
is disk I/O intensive. Controlling that
with
`GIT_CLEAN_FLAGS: -ffdx -e .build/`
, for example, allows you to control and
disable removal of some directories within the worktree between subsequent runs,
which can speed-up the incremental builds. This has the biggest effect
if you re-use existing machines, and have an existing worktree that you can re-use
for builds.
For exact parameters accepted by
`GIT_CLEAN_FLAGS`
, see the documentation
for
[
git clean
](
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clean
)
. The
available parameters are dependent on Git version.
