| git-unpack-objects(1) | |
| ===================== | |
| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| 'git unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] [--strict] <pack-file | |
| DESCRIPTION | |
| ----------- | |
| Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding | |
| the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in | |
| "loose" (one object per file) format. | |
| Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked | |
| from the pack-file. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use | |
| this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository. | |
| See linkgit:git-repack[1] for options to generate | |
| new packs and replace existing ones. | |
| OPTIONS | |
| ------- | |
| -n:: | |
| Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking | |
| the objects. | |
| -q:: | |
| The command usually shows percentage progress. This | |
| flag suppresses it. | |
| -r:: | |
| When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at | |
| the first corruption. This flag tells it to keep going | |
| and make the best effort to recover as many objects as | |
| possible. | |
| --strict:: | |
| Don't write objects with broken content or links. | |
