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.
