In all fairness, even the smallest contributions can be valuable. Well, as long as the contributor actually does something useful, and doesn’t just farm “fake” contribs.

You can probably use something like

git clean -xdf

To get rid of all the artifacts not tracked by git, in this case it’s virtually the same as deleting the repo and re-cloning it.

NOTE: Make sure everyhing is staged, otherwise that data is gone

If they’re leaving them there, I’d be all for it

Some people simply ignore warnings, that’s the main issue. Trust me, I saw this way too often.

If you cannot compile it than you have to fix it, otherwise just mark unused variables as ‘not an error’ via _ = someunusedvar.

This is always relevant
