NAME

       git-diagnose - Generate a zip archive of diagnostic information

SYNOPSIS

       git diagnose [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
                      [--mode=<mode>]

DESCRIPTION

       Collects detailed information about the user’s machine, Git client, and repository state
       and packages that information into a zip archive. The generated archive can then, for
       example, be shared with the Git mailing list to help debug an issue or serve as a
       reference for independent debugging.

       By default, the following information is captured in the archive:

       •   git version --build-options

       •   The path to the repository root

       •   The available disk space on the filesystem

       •   The name and size of each packfile, including those in alternate object stores

       •   The total count of loose objects, as well as counts broken down by .git/objects
           subdirectory

       Additional information can be collected by selecting a different diagnostic mode using the
       --mode option.

       This tool differs from git-bugreport(1) in that it collects much more detailed information
       with a greater focus on reporting the size and data shape of repository contents.

OPTIONS

       -o <path>, --output-directory <path>
           Place the resulting diagnostics archive in <path> instead of the current directory.

       -s <format>, --suffix <format>
           Specify an alternate suffix for the diagnostics archive name, to create a file named
           git-diagnostics-<formatted suffix>. This should take the form of a strftime(3) format
           string; the current local time will be used.

       --mode=(stats|all)
           Specify the type of diagnostics that should be collected. The default behavior of git
           diagnose is equivalent to --mode=stats.

           The --mode=all option collects everything included in --mode=stats, as well as copies
           of .git, .git/hooks, .git/info, .git/logs, and .git/objects/info directories. This
           additional information may be sensitive, as it can be used to reconstruct the full
           contents of the diagnosed repository. Users should exercise caution when sharing an
           archive generated with --mode=all.
