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 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.
