The git clean shouldn't be necessary if you build each module individually and thus don't build what you don't need. Do not build the top dir unless you're prepared to fix the issues. > 6. *git status* > > You can see the attachment with the full log: > *log-my-approach-to-clean-up.txt* > > [image: image.png] > > As we can see, my approach seems not able to clean up the working tree in > this situation as well. (I can't see anything because you're taking screenshots of text) If you want to fix the issues, go into those dirs, do a git status and find out why Git thinks they're unclean compared to what the submodule link says they should be at. Then take action. > Therefore, I'd like to ask: > *how to use `init-repository` properly to clean up the working tree after > checking out?* You don't.
