| git-prune - Prunes all unreachable objects from the object database | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| 'git-prune' [-n] [--] [<head>...] | |
| DESCRIPTION | |
| ----------- | |
| This runs `git-fsck-objects --unreachable` using all the refs | |
| available in `$GIT_DIR/refs`, optionally with additional set of | |
| objects specified on the command line, and prunes all | |
| objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database. | |
| In addition, it | |
| prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by | |
| running `git prune-packed`. | |
| OPTIONS | |
| ------- | |
| -n:: | |
| Do not remove anything; just report what it would | |
| remove. | |
| --:: | |
| Do not interpret any more arguments as options. | |
| <head>...:: | |
| In addition to objects | |
| reachable from any of our references, keep objects | |
| reachable from listed <head>s. | |
| EXAMPLE | |
| ------- | |
| To prune objects not used by your repository nor another that | |
| borrows from your repository via its | |
| `.git/objects/info/alternates`: | |
| ------------ | |
| $ git prune $(cd ../another && $(git-rev-parse --all)) | |
