| 2cf565c5 DG |
7 | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 10 | -------- | |
| 0b444cdb | 11 | 'git prune' [-n] [-v] [--expire <expire>] [--] [<head>...] |
| 2cf565c5 DG |

| 13 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ----------- | |
| f85a4191 | 15 | |
| 0b444cdb TR |
16 | NOTE: In most cases, users should run 'git gc', which calls |
| 17 | 'git prune'. See the section "NOTES", below. | |
| 8d308b35 | 18 | |
| 0b444cdb | 19 | This runs 'git fsck --unreachable' using all the refs |
| cc1b8d8b | 20 | available in `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 | 24 | prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by |
| 0b444cdb | 25 | running 'git prune-packed'. |
| f85a4191 | 26 | |
| 58949bb1 CF |
27 | Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is |
| 28 | not desired, see linkgit:git-repack[1]. | |

| 51 | EXAMPLE | |
| 52 | ------- | |
| 53 | ||
| 2b86976b | 54 | To prune objects not used by your repository nor another that |
| c82365dc JH |
55 | borrows from your repository via its |
| 56 | `.git/objects/info/alternates`: | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | ------------ | |
| b1889c36 | 59 | $ git prune $(cd ../another && $(git rev-parse --all)) |
| c82365dc | 60 | ------------ |

62 | Notes |
| 63 | ----- | |
| 64 | ||
| 0b444cdb TR |
65 | In most cases, users will not need to call 'git prune' directly, but |
| 66 | should instead call 'git gc', which handles pruning along with | |
| 8d308b35 JK |
67 | many other housekeeping tasks. |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see | |
| 0b444cdb | 70 | 'git fsck''s --unreachable option. |
