NAME

|
|
git-gc - Cleanup unnecessary files and optimize the local repository
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
'git-gc'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
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 gitlink:git-add[1].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Users are encouraged to run this task on a regular basis within
|
||
|
|
each repository to maintain good disk space utilization and good
|
||
|
|
operating performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The optional configuration variable 'gc.reflogExpire' 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 '90 days' or '3 months'.
|
||
|
|
It defaults to '90 days'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The optional configuration variable 'gc.reflogExpireUnreachable'
|
||
|
|
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 `git commit \--amend` or `git rebase` and are the
|
||
|
|
commits prior to the amend or rebase occuring. Since these changes
|
||
|
|
are not part of the current project most users will want to expire
|
||
|
|
them sooner. This option defaults to '30 days'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The optional configuration variable 'gc.rerereresolved' indicates
|
||
|
|
how long records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
|
||
|
|
kept. This defaults to 60 days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The optional configuration variable 'gc.rerereunresolved' indicates
|
||
|
|
how long records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
|
||
|
|
kept. This defaults to 15 days.
