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.
