NAME

6       git-prune-packed - Remove extra objects that are already in pack files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git prune-packed [-n|--dry-run] [-q|--quiet]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This program searches the $GIT_OBJECT_DIR for all objects that
13       currently exist in a pack file as well as the independent object
14       directories.
15
16       All such extra objects are removed.
17
18       A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta
19       compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index
20       file.
21
22       Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines,
23       disk storage, etc.
24

OPTIONS

26       -n, --dry-run

29
30       -q, --quiet
31           Squelch the progress indicator.
