| f85a4191 | 15 | |
| 8d308b35 JK |
16 | NOTE: In most cases, users should run linkgit:git-gc[1], which calls |
| 17 | git-prune. See the section "NOTES", below. | |
| 18 | ||
| df391b19 | 19 | This runs `git-fsck --unreachable` using all the refs |
| 2b86976b | 20 | available in `$GIT_DIR/refs`, optionally with additional set of |
| 58949bb1 | 21 | objects specified on the command line, and prunes all unpacked |
| 2b86976b JH |
22 | objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database. |
| 23 | In addition, it | |
| f85a4191 JH |
24 | prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by |
| 25 | running `git prune-packed`. | |
| 26 | ||
| 58949bb1 CF |
27 | Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is |
| 28 | not desired, see linkgit:git-repack[1]. | |

| 48 | EXAMPLE | |
| 49 | ------- | |
| 50 | ||
| 2b86976b | 51 | To prune objects not used by your repository nor another that |
| c82365dc JH |
52 | borrows from your repository via its |
| 53 | `.git/objects/info/alternates`: | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | ------------ | |
| 2b86976b | 56 | $ git prune $(cd ../another && $(git-rev-parse --all)) |
| c82365dc | 57 | ------------ |

59 | Notes |
| 60 | ----- | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | In most cases, users will not need to call git-prune directly, but | |
| 63 | should instead call linkgit:git-gc[1], which handles pruning along with | |
| 64 | many other housekeeping tasks. | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see | |
| 67 | git-fsck's --unreachable option. | |
