GIT-PRUNE-PACKED(1)GIT-PRUNE-PACKED(1)NAME
git-prune-packed - Remove extra objects that are already in pack files
SYNOPSIS
git prune-packed [-n|--dry-run] [-q|--quiet]
DESCRIPTION
This program searches the $GIT_OBJECT_DIR for all objects that cur-
rently exist in a pack file as well as the independent object directo-
ries.
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, --dry-run
Don’t actually remove any objects, only show those that
would have been removed.
-q, --quiet
Squelch the progress indicator.
