git-commit-graph(1)
===================
 
NAME
----
git-commit-graph - Write and verify Git commit-graph files
 
 
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'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 `.git` directory. The
	commit-graph file is expected to be at `<dir>/info/commit-graph` and
	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-packs` option, generate the new commit graph by
walking objects only in the specified pack-indexes. (Cannot be combined
with `--stdin-commits` or `--reachable`.)
+
With the `--stdin-commits` option, 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-packs` or `--reachable`.)
+
With the `--reachable` option, generate the new commit graph by walking
commits starting at all refs. (Cannot be combined with `--stdin-commits`
or `--stdin-packs`.)
+
With the `--append` option, 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 `.git`
  directory.
+
------------------------------------------------
$ 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
------------------------------------------------
