| | 4 | NAME |
| | 5 | ---- |
| | 6 | git-repack - Script used to pack a repository from a collection of |
| | 7 | objects into pack files. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | SYNOPSIS |
| | 11 | -------- |
| | 12 | 'git-repack' [-a] [-d] [-f] [-l] [-n] [-q] [--window=N] [--depth=N] |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | DESCRIPTION |
| | 15 | ----------- |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently |
| | 18 | reside in a "pack", into a pack. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with |
| | 21 | delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an |
| | 22 | associated index file. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup |
| | 25 | engines, disk storage, etc. |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | OPTIONS |
| | 28 | ------- |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | -a:: |
| | 31 | Instead of incrementally packing the unpacked objects, |
| | 32 | pack everything available into a single pack. |
| | 33 | Especially useful when packing a repository that is used |
| | 34 | for a private development and there no need to worry |
| | 35 | about people fetching via dumb protocols from it. Use |
| | 36 | with '-d'. |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | -d:: |
| | 39 | After packing, if the newly created packs make some |
| | 40 | existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs. |
| | 41 | Also runs gitlink:git-prune-packed[1]. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | -l:: |
| | 44 | Pass the `--local` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
| | 45 | gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | -f:: |
| | 48 | Pass the `--no-reuse-delta` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
| | 49 | gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | -q:: |
| | 52 | Pass the `-q` option to `git pack-objects`, see |
| | 53 | gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | -n:: |
| | 56 | Do not update the server information with |
| | 57 | `git update-server-info`. |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | --window=[N], --depth=[N]:: |
| | 60 | These two options affect how the objects contained in the pack are |
| | 61 | stored using delta compression. The objects are first internally |
| | 62 | sorted by type, size and optionally names and compared against the |
| | 63 | other objects within `--window` to see if using delta compression saves |
| | 64 | space. `--depth` limits the maximum delta depth; making it too deep |
| | 65 | affects the performance on the unpacker side, because delta data needs |
| | 66 | to be applied that many times to get to the necessary object. |
| | 67 | The default value for both --window and --depth is 10. |
