6 git-commit-graph - Write and verify Git commit graph files
12 'git commit-graph read' [--object-dir <dir>]
13 'git commit-graph verify' [--object-dir <dir>]
14 'git commit-graph write' <options> [--object-dir <dir>]
20 Manage the serialized commit graph file.
26 Use given directory for the location of packfiles and commit graph
27 file. This parameter exists to specify the location of an alternate
28 that only has the objects directory, not a full .git directory. The
29 commit graph file is expected to be at <dir>/info/commit-graph and
30 the packfiles are expected to be in <dir>/pack.
37 Write a commit graph file based on the commits found in packfiles.
39 With the `--stdin-packs` option, generate the new commit graph by
40 walking objects only in the specified pack-indexes. (Cannot be combined
41 with --stdin-commits.)
43 With the `--stdin-commits` option, generate the new commit graph by
44 walking commits starting at the commits specified in stdin as a list
45 of OIDs in hex, one OID per line. (Cannot be combined with
48 With the `--append` option, include all commits that are present in the
49 existing commit-graph file.
53 Read a graph file given by the commit-graph file and output basic
54 details about the graph file. Used for debugging purposes.
58 Read the commit-graph file and verify its contents against the object
59 database. Used to check for corrupted data.
65 * Write a commit graph file for the packed commits in your local .git folder.
67 ------------------------------------------------
68 $ git commit-graph write
69 ------------------------------------------------
71 * Write a graph file, extending the current graph file using commits
74 ------------------------------------------------
75 $ echo <pack-index> | git commit-graph write --stdin-packs
76 ------------------------------------------------
78 * Write a graph file containing all reachable commits.
80 ------------------------------------------------
81 $ git show-ref -s | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
82 ------------------------------------------------
84 * Write a graph file containing all commits in the current
85 * commit-graph file along with those reachable from HEAD.
87 ------------------------------------------------
88 $ git rev-parse HEAD | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits --append
89 ------------------------------------------------
91 * Read basic information from the commit-graph file.
