SYNOPSIS
git commit-graph read [--object-dir <dir>] git commit-graph verify [--object-dir <dir>] git commit-graph write <options> [--object-dir <dir>]
DESCRIPTION
Manage the serialized commit-graph file.
OPTIONS
- --object-dir
- 
Use given directory for the location of packfiles and commit-graph file. This parameter exists to specify the location of an alternate that only has the objects directory, not a full .gitdirectory. The commit-graph file is expected to be at<dir>/info/commit-graphand the packfiles are expected to be in<dir>/pack.
COMMANDS
- write
- 
Write a commit-graph file based on the commits found in packfiles. With the --stdin-packsoption, generate the new commit graph by walking objects only in the specified pack-indexes. (Cannot be combined with--stdin-commitsor--reachable.)With the --stdin-commitsoption, generate the new commit graph by walking commits starting at the commits specified in stdin as a list of OIDs in hex, one OID per line. (Cannot be combined with--stdin-packsor--reachable.)With the --reachableoption, generate the new commit graph by walking commits starting at all refs. (Cannot be combined with--stdin-commitsor--stdin-packs.)With the --appendoption, include all commits that are present in the existing commit-graph file.
- read
- 
Read the commit-graph file and output basic details about it. Used for debugging purposes. 
- verify
- 
Read the commit-graph file and verify its contents against the object database. Used to check for corrupted data. 
EXAMPLES
- 
Write a commit-graph file for the packed commits in your local .gitdirectory.$ git commit-graph write
- 
Write a commit-graph file, extending the current commit-graph file using commits in <pack-index>.$ echo <pack-index> | git commit-graph write --stdin-packs
- 
Write a commit-graph file containing all reachable commits. $ git show-ref -s | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
- 
Write a commit-graph file containing all commits in the current commit-graph file along with those reachable from HEAD.$ git rev-parse HEAD | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits --append
- 
Read basic information from the commit-graph file. $ git commit-graph read
