  51. In most cases, users should run \fIgit gc\fR, which calls \fIgit prune\fR\&. See the section "NOTES", below\&.

  55. This runs \fIgit fsck \-\-unreachable\fR using all the refs available in \fBrefs/\fR, optionally with an additional set of objects specified on the command line, and prunes all unpacked objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database\&. In addition, it prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by running \fIgit prune\-packed\fR\&. It also removes entries from \&.git/shallow that are not reachable by any ref\&.
  56. .sp
  57. Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain\&. If this is not desired, see \fBgit-repack\fR(1)\&.

  91. To prune objects not used by your repository or another that borrows from your repository via its \&.\fBgit/objects/info/alternates\fR:
  92. .sp
  93. .if n \{\
  94. .RS 4
  95. .\}
  96. .nf
  97. $ git prune $(cd \&.\&./another && git rev\-parse \-\-all)

  102. .SH "NOTES"

  104. In most cases, users will not need to call \fIgit prune\fR directly, but should instead call \fIgit gc\fR, which handles pruning along with many other housekeeping tasks\&.
  105. .sp
  106. For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see \fIgit fsck\fR\*(Aqs \-\-unreachable option\&.
