|  | <div class="sectionbody"> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>This command is used to combine all objects that do not currently | 
|  | reside in a "pack", into a pack.  It can also be used to re-organize | 
|  | existing packs into a single, more efficient pack.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with | 
|  | delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an | 
|  | associated index file.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup | 
|  | engines, disk storage, etc.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="sect1"> | 
|  | <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2> | 
|  | <div class="sectionbody"> | 
|  | <div class="dlist"> | 
|  | <dl> | 
|  | <dt class="hdlist1">-a</dt> | 
|  | <dd> | 
|  | <p>Instead of incrementally packing the unpacked objects, | 
|  | pack everything referenced into a single pack. | 
|  | Especially useful when packing a repository that is used | 
|  | for private development. Use | 
|  | with <code>-d</code>.  This will clean up the objects that <code>git</code> <code>prune</code> | 
|  | leaves behind, but <code>git</code> <code>fsck</code> <code>--full</code> <code>--dangling</code> shows as | 
|  | dangling.</p> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>Note that users fetching over dumb protocols will have to fetch the | 
|  | whole new pack in order to get any contained object, no matter how many | 
|  | other objects in that pack they already have locally.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <div class="paragraph"> | 
|  | <p>Promisor packfiles are repacked separately: if there are packfiles that | 
|  | have an associated ".promisor" file, these packfiles will be repacked | 
|  | into another separate pack, and an empty ".promisor" file corresponding | 
|  | to the new separate pack will be written.</p> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | </dd> | 
|  | <dt class="hdlist1">-A</dt> | 
|  | <dd> | 
|  | <p>Same as <code>-a</code>, unless <code>-d</code> is used.  Then any unreachable | 
|  | objects in a previous pack become loose, unpacked objects, | 
|  | instead of being left in the old pack.  Unreachable objects | 
|  | are never intentionally added to a pack, even when repacking. | 
|  | This option prevents unreachable objects from being immediately | 
|  | deleted by way of being left in the old pack and then | 
|  | removed.  Instead, the loose unreachable objects | 
|  | will be pruned according to normal expiry rules | 
|  | with the next <em>git gc</em> invocation. See <a href="git-gc.html">git-gc(1)</a>.</p> | 
|  | </dd> | 
|  | <dt class="hdlist1">-d</dt> | 
|  | <dd> | 
|  | <p>After packing, if the newly created packs make some | 
|  | existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs. | 
|  | Also run  <em>git prune-packed</em> to remove redundant | 
|  | loose object files.</p> | 
|  | </dd> | 
|  | <dt class="hdlist1">--cruft</dt> | 
|  | <dd> | 
|  | <p>Same as <code>-a</code>, unless <code>-d</code> is used. Then any unreachable objects | 
|  | are packed into a separate cruft pack. Unreachable objects can | 
|  | be pruned using the normal expiry rules with the next <code>git</code> <code>gc</code> | 
|  | invocation (see <a href="git-gc.html">git-gc(1)</a>). Incompatible with <code>-k</code>.</p> | 
|  | </dd> | 
|  | <dt class="hdlist1">--cruft-expiration=<approxidate></dt> | 
|  | <dd> | 
|  | <p>Expire unreachable objects older than <em><approxidate></em> | 
|  | immediately instead of waiting for the next <code>git</code> <code>gc</code> invocation. | 
|  | Only useful with <code>--cruft</code> <code>-d</code>.</p> | 
|  | </dd> | 
|  | <dt class="hdlist1">--max-cruft-size=<n></dt> | 
|  | <dd> | 
|  | <p>Overrides <code>--max-pack-size</code> for cruft packs. Inherits the value of | 
|  | <code>--max-pack-size</code> (if any) by default. See the documentation for | 
|  | <code>--max-pack-size</code> for more details.</p> | 
|  | </dd> | 
|  | <dt class="hdlist1">--combine-cruft-below-size=<n></dt> | 
|  | <dd> | 
|  | <p>When generating cruft packs without pruning, only repack | 
|  | existing cruft packs whose size is strictly less than <em><n></em>, | 
|  | where <em><n></em> represents a number of bytes, which can optionally | 
|  | be suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". Cruft packs whose size is | 
|  | greater than or equal to <em><n></em> are left as-is and not repacked. |
