git-pack-redundant(1)

NAME

   git-pack-redundant - Find redundant pack files

SYNOPSIS

   git pack-redundant [ --verbose ] [ --alt-odb ] < --all | .pack filename ... >

DESCRIPTION

   This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant. The
   output is suitable for piping to xargs rm if you are in the root of the
   repository.

   git pack-redundant accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any
   objects given will be ignored when checking which packs are required.
   This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs
   which contain unreachable objects.

   git fsck --full --unreachable | cut -d ' ' -f3 | \ git pack-redundant
   --all | xargs rm

OPTIONS

   --all
       Processes all packs. Any filenames on the command line are ignored.

   --alt-odb
       Don't require objects present in packs from alternate object
       directories to be present in local packs.

   --verbose
       Outputs some statistics to stderr. Has a small performance penalty.
