NAME top

   git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive

SYNOPSIS top

   _git unpack-objects_ [-n] [-q] [-r] [--strict]

DESCRIPTION top

   Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
   the objects contained within and writing them into the repository
   in "loose" (one object per file) format.

   Objects that already exist in the repository will **not** be unpacked
   from the packfile. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
   this command on a packfile that exists within the target
   repository.

   See [git-repack(1)](../man1/git-repack.1.html) for options to generate new packs and replace
   existing ones.

OPTIONS top

   -n
       Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking the
       objects.

   -q
       The command usually shows percentage progress. This flag
       suppresses it.

   -r
       When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at the
       first corruption. This flag tells it to keep going and make
       the best effort to recover as many objects as possible.

   --strict
       Don’t write objects with broken content or links.

   --max-input-size=<size>
       Die, if the pack is larger than <size>.
