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 database (odb)
           directories to be present in local packs.

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