14 | DESCRIPTION | |
15 | ----------- | |
f85a4191 | 16 | |
0b444cdb TR |
17 | NOTE: In most cases, users should run 'git gc', which calls |
18 | 'git prune'. See the section "NOTES", below. | |
8d308b35 | 19 | |
0b444cdb | 20 | This runs 'git fsck --unreachable' using all the refs |
cc1b8d8b | 21 | available in `refs/`, optionally with additional set of |
58949bb1 | 22 | objects specified on the command line, and prunes all unpacked |
2b86976b JH |
23 | objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database. |
24 | In addition, it | |
f85a4191 | 25 | prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by |
0b444cdb | 26 | running 'git prune-packed'. |
eab3296c NTND |
27 | It also removes entries from .git/shallow that are not reachable by |
28 | any ref. | |

30 | Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is |
31 | not desired, see linkgit:git-repack[1]. | |

56 | EXAMPLE | |
57 | ------- | |
58 | ||
a58088ab | 59 | To prune objects not used by your repository or another that |
c82365dc JH |
60 | borrows from your repository via its |
61 | `.git/objects/info/alternates`: | |
62 | ||
63 | ------------ | |
8c3ca726 | 64 | $ git prune $(cd ../another && git rev-parse --all) |
c82365dc | 65 | ------------ |

67 | Notes |
68 | ----- | |
69 | ||
0b444cdb TR |
70 | In most cases, users will not need to call 'git prune' directly, but |
71 | should instead call 'git gc', which handles pruning along with | |
8d308b35 JK |
72 | many other housekeeping tasks. |
73 | ||
74 | For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see | |
0b444cdb | 75 | 'git fsck''s --unreachable option. |
