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 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, --dry-run

-q, --quiet
