git-multi-pack-index(1)

NAME#

git-multi-pack-index - Write and verify multi-pack-indexes

SYNOPSIS#

git multi-pack-index\n [--object-dir=<dir>] [--[no-]bitmap] <sub-command>

DESCRIPTION#

Write or verify a multi-pack-index (MIDX) file.

OPTIONS#

--object-dir=<dir>

<dir> must be an alternate of the current repository.

--[no-]progress

The following subcommands are available:

write

--preferred-pack=<pack>

--[no-]bitmap

--stdin-packs

--refs-snapshot=<path>

A reference snapshot is composed of line-delimited OIDs corresponding to the reference tips, usually taken by git repack prior to generating a new pack. A line may optionally start with a + character to indicate that the reference which corresponds to that OID is "preferred" (see git-config(1)'s pack.preferBitmapTips.)

The file given at <path> is expected to be readable, and can contain duplicates. (If a given OID is given more than once, it is marked as preferred if at least one instance of it begins with the special + marker).

--incremental

verify

expire

repack

If repack.packKeptObjects is false, then any pack-files with an associated .keep file will not be selected for the batch to repack.

EXAMPLES#

$ git multi-pack-index write

$ git multi-pack-index write --preferred-pack=<pack> --bitmap

$ git multi-pack-index --object-dir <alt> write

$ git multi-pack-index verify
