git-unpack-objects(1)

NAME

   git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive

SYNOPSIS

   git unpack-objects [-n] [-q] [-r] [--strict]

DESCRIPTION

   Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding the
   objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
   "loose" (one object per file) format.

   Objects that already exist in the repository will not be unpacked from
   the packfile. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use this
   command on a packfile that exists within the target repository.

   See git-repack(1) for options to generate new packs and replace
   existing ones.

OPTIONS

   -n
       Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking the
       objects.

   -q
       The command usually shows percentage progress. This flag suppresses
       it.

   -r
       When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at the first
       corruption. This flag tells it to keep going and make the best
       effort to recover as many objects as possible.

   --strict
       Don't write objects with broken content or links.
