NAME top

   git-count-objects - Count unpacked number of objects and their
   disk consumption

SYNOPSIS top

   _git count-objects_ [-v] [-H | --human-readable]

DESCRIPTION top

   Counts the number of unpacked object files and disk space consumed
   by them, to help you decide when it is a good time to repack.

OPTIONS top

   -v, --verbose
       Provide more detailed reports:

       count: the number of loose objects

       size: disk space consumed by loose objects, in KiB (unless -H
       is specified)

       in-pack: the number of in-pack objects

       size-pack: disk space consumed by the packs, in KiB (unless -H
       is specified)

       prune-packable: the number of loose objects that are also
       present in the packs. These objects could be pruned using **git**
       **prune-packed**.

       garbage: the number of files in the object database that are
       neither valid loose objects nor valid packs

       size-garbage: disk space consumed by garbage files, in KiB
       (unless -H is specified)

       alternate: absolute path of alternate object databases; may
       appear multiple times, one line per path. Note that if the
       path contains non-printable characters, it may be surrounded
       by double-quotes and contain C-style backslashed escape
       sequences.

   -H, --human-readable
