NAME

6       git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git prune [-n] [-v] [--progress] [--expire <time>] [--] [<head>...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12           Note
13           In most cases, users should run git gc, which calls git prune. See
14           the section "NOTES", below.
15
16       This runs git fsck --unreachable using all the refs available in refs/,
17       optionally with additional set of objects specified on the command
18       line, and prunes all unpacked objects unreachable from any of these
19       head objects from the object database. In addition, it prunes the
20       unpacked objects that are also found in packs by running git
21       prune-packed. It also removes entries from .git/shallow that are not
22       reachable by any ref.
23
24       Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is not
25       desired, see git-repack(1).
26

OPTIONS

28       -n, --dry-run
29           Do not remove anything; just report what it would remove.
30
31       -v, --verbose
32           Report all removed objects.
33
34       --progress
35           Show progress.
36
37       --expire <time>
38           Only expire loose objects older than <time>.
39
40       --
41           Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
42
43       <head>...
44           In addition to objects reachable from any of our references, keep
45           objects reachable from listed <head>s.
46

EXAMPLES

48       To prune objects not used by your repository or another that borrows
49       from your repository via its .git/objects/info/alternates:
50
51           $ git prune $(cd ../another && git rev-parse --all)
52

NOTES

54       In most cases, users will not need to call git prune directly, but
55       should instead call git gc, which handles pruning along with many other
56       housekeeping tasks.
57
58       For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see git
59       fsck's --unreachable option.
