No, it is not equivalent. * `make clean` removes any build-related files (assuming that the `clean` target is properly written). To see exactly what it would do, run `make clean -n`. Judging from your question, I think this is what you want to do. * `git clean -xdf` would remove any files that git does not track. This also includes build-related files, but also any other files that happen to be in your working directory. For example, any output from `git format-patch` would be removed by this, but not `make clean`.
