git-prune(1)


NAME

   git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database

SYNOPSIS

   git prune [-n] [-v] [--expire <expire>] [--] [<head>...]

DESCRIPTION

       Note
       In most cases, users should run git gc, which calls git prune. See
       the section "NOTES", below.

   This runs git fsck --unreachable using all the refs available in refs/,
   optionally with additional set of objects specified on the command
   line, and prunes all unpacked 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. It also removes entries from .git/shallow that are not
   reachable by any ref.

   Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is not
   desired, see git-repack(1).

OPTIONS

   -n, --dry-run
       Do not remove anything; just report what it would remove.

   -v, --verbose
       Report all removed objects.

   --
       Do not interpret any more arguments as options.

   --expire <time>
       Only expire loose objects older than <time>.

   <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 or another that borrows
   from your repository via its .git/objects/info/alternates:

       $ git prune $(cd ../another && git rev-parse --all)

NOTES

   In most cases, users will not need to call git prune directly, but
   should instead call git gc, which handles pruning along with many other
   housekeeping tasks.

   For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see git
   fsck's --unreachable option.
