| 10 | -------- | |

| 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. | |
| f85a4191 | 29 | |
| 58949bb1 CF |
30 | Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is |
| 31 | not desired, see linkgit:git-repack[1]. | |

59 | EXAMPLES |
| 60 | -------- | |
| c82365dc | 61 | |
| a58088ab | 62 | To prune objects not used by your repository or another that |
| c82365dc JH |
63 | borrows from your repository via its |
| 64 | `.git/objects/info/alternates`: | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | ------------ | |
| 8c3ca726 | 67 | $ git prune $(cd ../another && git rev-parse --all) |
| c82365dc | 68 | ------------ |

73 | In most cases, users will not need to call 'git prune' directly, but |
| 74 | should instead call 'git gc', which handles pruning along with | |
| 8d308b35 JK |
75 | many other housekeeping tasks. |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see | |
| 0b444cdb | 78 | 'git fsck''s --unreachable option. |
