man git-pack-redundant (Commandes) - Program used to find redundant pack files.
NAME
git-pack-redundant - Program used to 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-objects --full --unreachable | cut -d -f3 | git-pack-redundant --all | xargs rm
OPTIONS
- --all
- Processes all packs. Any filenames on the commandline 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.
