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 | --dry-run] [-q | --quiet]

DESCRIPTION

This program searches the $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY for all objects that
currently exist in a pack file as well as in 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
Don't actually remove any objects, only show those that would
have been removed.

-q, --quiet
Squelch the progress indicator.
