NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This program searches the $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY for all objects that currently exist in a pack file as well as 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
