| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |

| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| This program computes which packs in your repository are redundant\&. The output is suitable for piping to \fBxargs rm\fR if you are in the root of the repository\&. |
| .sp |
| \fIgit pack\-redundant\fR accepts a list of objects on standard input\&. Any objects given will be ignored when checking which packs are required\&. This makes the following command useful when wanting to remove packs which contain unreachable objects\&. |
| .sp |
| git fsck \-\-full \-\-unreachable | cut \-d \(aq \(aq \-f3 | \e git pack\-redundant \-\-all | xargs rm |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .PP |
| \-\-all |
| .RS 4 |
