how do you bleed the clutch

Why does it need to be bleed?
Clutch replace or master cylinder or line replacement or dry on fluid?

To bleed fill master cylinder and open bleeder valve.
And pressure on clutch pedal?
You can pump some air out like bleeding brakes.
But for final bleed I fill master cylinder and leave cap off and open bleeder valve without pumping pedal let it gravity bleed.

If the pressure lines runs into the clutch area the bleeder valve will be right next to it where it goes into transmission housing.
