git-prune-packed1
Remove extra objects that are already in pack files
Usage
git prune-packed
[{-n | --dry-run}]
[{-q | --quiet}]
Overview
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.
