NAME

6       git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git unpack-objects [-n] [-q] [-r] [--strict] <pack-file
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding the
13       objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
14       "loose" (one object per file) format.
15
16       Objects that already exist in the repository will not be unpacked from
17       the pack-file. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use this
18       command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository.
19
20       See git-repack(1) for options to generate new packs and replace
21       existing ones.
22

OPTIONS

24       -n
25           Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking the
26           objects.
27
28       -q
29           The command usually shows percentage progress. This flag suppresses
30           it.
31
32       -r
33           When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at the first
34           corruption. This flag tells it to keep going and make the best
35           effort to recover as many objects as possible.
36
37       --strict
38           Don’t write objects with broken content or links.
