| <h1> | |
| git-gc(1) Manual Page | |
| </h1> | |
| <h2>NAME</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>git-gc - | |
| Cleanup unnecessary files and optimize the local repository | |
| </p> | |
| </div> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p><em>git-gc</em></p> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>Runs a number of housekeeping tasks within the current repository, | |
| such as compressing file revisions (to reduce disk space and increase | |
| performance) and removing unreachable objects which may have been | |
| created from prior invocations of <a href="git-add.html">git-add(1)</a>.</p> | |
| <p>Users are encouraged to run this task on a regular basis within | |
| each repository to maintain good disk space utilization and good | |
| operating performance.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>Configuration</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>The optional configuration variable <em>gc.reflogExpire</em> can be | |
| set to indicate how long historical entries within each branch's | |
| reflog should remain available in this repository. The setting is | |
| expressed as a length of time, for example <em>90 days</em> or <em>3 months</em>. | |
| It defaults to <em>90 days</em>.</p> | |
| <p>The optional configuration variable <em>gc.reflogExpireUnreachable</em> | |
| can be set to indicate how long historical reflog entries which | |
| are not part of the current branch should remain available in | |
| this repository. These types of entries are generally created as | |
| a result of using <tt>git commit --amend</tt> or <tt>git rebase</tt> and are the | |
| commits prior to the amend or rebase occurring. Since these changes | |
| are not part of the current project most users will want to expire | |
| them sooner. This option defaults to <em>30 days</em>.</p> | |
| <p>The optional configuration variable <em>gc.rerereresolved</em> indicates | |
| how long records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are | |
| kept. This defaults to 60 days.</p> | |
| <p>The optional configuration variable <em>gc.rerereunresolved</em> indicates | |
| how long records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are | |
| kept. This defaults to 15 days.</p> | |
