GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)                                      Git Manual                                      GIT-PACK-REDUNDANT(1)



NAME
       git-pack-redundant - Find redundant pack files

SYNOPSIS
       git pack-redundant [ --verbose ] [ --alt-odb ] < --all | .pack filename ... >

DESCRIPTION
       This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant. The output is suitable for piping to xargs rm if you
       are in the root of the repository.

       git pack-redundant accepts a list of objects on standard input. Any objects given will be ignored when checking which
       packs are required. This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable
       objects.

       git fsck --full --unreachable | cut -d ' ' -f3 | \ git pack-redundant --all | xargs rm

OPTIONS
       --all
           Processes all packs. Any filenames on the command line are ignored.

       --alt-odb
           Don't require objects present in packs from alternate object directories to be present in local packs.

       --verbose
           Outputs some statistics to stderr. Has a small performance penalty.
