git-index-pack(1)
=================
NAME
----
git-index-pack - Build pack index file for an existing packed archive
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-index-pack' [-o <index-file>] <pack-file>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Reads a packed archive (.pack) from the specified file, and
builds a pack index file (.idx) for it. The packed archive
together with the pack index can then be placed in the
objects/pack/ directory of a git repository.
OPTIONS
-------
-o <index-file>::
Write the generated pack index into the specified
file. Without this option the name of pack index
file is constructed from the name of packed archive
file by replacing .pack with .idx (and the program
fails if the name of packed archive does not end
with .pack).
