I've not come across yocto before. So it's a tool for building embedded Linux distributions. My first question to you is, did you build this distribution yourself, or are you using one built by somebody else?

If the former, could you rebuild the image with a package manager, or even git, built into the distribution?

You can use wget to download git, but then you still need to install it. This will have to be done either by downloading the source and building it or getting a package for your system, and you will still need a package manager such as dpkg to install it.

Updating git clones

git-clean

GIT-CLEAN(1)							    Git Manual							      GIT-CLEAN(1)

NAME

       git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree

SYNOPSIS

       git clean [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <path>...

DESCRIPTION

       Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not under version control, starting from the current directory.

       Normally, only files unknown to git are removed, but if the -x option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for example,
       be useful to remove all build products.

       If any optional <path>... arguments are given, only those paths are affected.

OPTIONS

       -d
	   Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files. If an untracked directory is managed by a different git repository, it is
	   not removed by default. Use -f option twice if you really want to remove such a directory.

       -f, --force
	   If the git configuration variable clean.requireForce is not set to false, git clean will refuse to run unless given -f or -n.

       -n, --dry-run
	   Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.

       -q, --quiet
	   Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are successfully removed.

       -x
	   Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in
	   conjunction with git reset) to create a pristine working directory to test a clean build.

       -X
	   Remove only files ignored by git. This may be useful to rebuild everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.
