NAME
       git-prune-packed - Remove extra objects that are already in pack files

SYNOPSIS
       git prune-packed [-n|--dry-run] [-q|--quiet]


DESCRIPTION
       This program searches the $GIT_OBJECT_DIR for all objects that
       currently exist in a pack file as well as the independent object
       directories.


       All such extra objects are removed.


       A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta
       compression applied, stored in a single file, with an associated index
       file.


       Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines,
       disk storage, etc.


OPTIONS
       -n, --dry-run
              Don&#8217;t actually remove any objects, only show those that
              would have been removed.


       -q, --quiet
              Squelch the progress indicator.
