GIT-PRUNE-PACKED(1) Git Manual GIT-PRUNE-PACKED(1)
NAME
git-prune-packed - Remove extra objects that are already in pack files
SYNOPSIS
git-prune-packed [-n] [-q]
DESCRIPTION
This program searches the $GIT_OBJECT_DIR for all objects that
currently exist in a pack file as well as the independent object
directories.
All such extra objects are removed.
A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta
compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index
file.
Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines,
disk storage, etc.
OPTIONS
-n Don’t actually remove any objects, only show those that would
have been removed.
-q Squelch the progress indicator.
