git-clean with GitPython

Question

Is there any way to do something like git clean -d -x -f using GitPython?

I need to reset working directories and want to get rid of all unversioned files without deleting the whole folder (except for .git) and checking out again.

You can work around by using the git command directly, from gitpython

More complete example:

import git
repo = git.Repo("/path/to/repo")
repo.git.clean("-xdf")

This function does not seem to exist

@WalterSvenddal are you really using gitpython or one of the other git wrappers for python maybe? I haven't tried this myself in 8, maybe 9 years.
