| git-pack-refs(1) Manual Page | |
| </h1> | |
| <h2>NAME</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>git-pack-refs - | |
| Pack heads and tags for efficient repository access | |
| </p> | |
| </div> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p><em>git-pack-refs</em> [--all] [--prune]</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>Traditionally, tips of branches and tags (collectively known as | |
| <em>refs</em>) were stored one file per ref under <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs</tt> | |
| directory. While many branch tips tend to be updated often, | |
| most tags and some branch tips are never updated. When a | |
| repository has hundreds or thousands of tags, this | |
| one-file-per-ref format both wastes storage and hurts | |
| performance.</p> | |
| <p>This command is used to solve the storage and performance | |
| problem by stashing the refs in a single file, | |
| <tt>$GIT_DIR/packed-refs</tt>. When a ref is missing from the | |
| traditional <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs</tt> hierarchy, it is looked up in this | |
| file and used if found.</p> | |
| <p>Subsequent updates to branches always creates new file under | |
| <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs</tt> hierarchy.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>OPTIONS</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <dl> | |
| <dt> | |
| --all | |
| </dt> | |
| <dd> | |
| <p> | |
| The command by default packs all tags and leaves branch tips | |
| alone. This is because branches are expected to be actively | |
| developed and packing their tips does not help performance. | |
| This option causes branch tips to be packed as well. Useful for | |
| a repository with many branches of historical interests. | |
| </p> | |
| </dd> | |
| <dt> | |
| --prune | |
| </dt> | |
| <dd> | |
| <p> | |
| After packing the refs, remove loose refs under <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs</tt> | |
| hierarchy. This should probably become default. | |
| </p> | |
| </dd> | |
| </dl> | |
