| =================== | |
| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-prune-packed - Remove extra objects that are already in pack files | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| [verse] | |
| '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 | |

| --dry-run:: | |
| Don't actually remove any objects, only show those that would have been | |
| removed. | |
| -q:: | |
| --quiet:: | |
