1git-reflog(1) 2============= 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-reflog - Manage reflog information 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git reflog' <subcommand> <options> 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15The command takes various subcommands, and different options 16depending on the subcommand: 17 18[verse] 19git reflog expire [--dry-run] [--stale-fix] 20 [--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>... 21 22git reflog [show] [log-options] 23 24Reflog is a mechanism to record when the tip of branches are 25updated. This command is to manage the information recorded in it. 26 27The subcommand "expire" is used to prune older reflog entries. 28Entries older than `expire` time, or entries older than 29`expire-unreachable` time and are not reachable from the current 30tip, are removed from the reflog. This is typically not used 31directly by the end users -- instead, see gitlink:git-gc[1]. 32 33The subcommand "show" (which is also the default, in the absense of any 34subcommands) will take all the normal log options, and show the log of 35the current branch. It is basically an alias for 'git log -g --abbrev-commit 36--pretty=oneline', see gitlink:git-log[1]. 37 38 39OPTIONS 40------- 41 42--stale-fix:: 43 This revamps the logic -- the definition of "broken commit" 44 becomes: a commit that is not reachable from any of the refs and 45 there is a missing object among the commit, tree, or blob 46 objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the 47 refs. 48+ 49This computation involves traversing all the reachable objects, i.e. it 50has the same cost as 'git prune'. Fortunately, once this is run, we 51should not have to ever worry about missing objects, because the current 52prune and pack-objects know about reflogs and protect objects referred by 53them. 54 55--expire=<time>:: 56 Entries older than this time are pruned. Without the 57 option it is taken from configuration `gc.reflogExpire`, 58 which in turn defaults to 90 days. 59 60--expire-unreachable=<time>:: 61 Entries older than this time and are not reachable from 62 the current tip of the branch are pruned. Without the 63 option it is taken from configuration 64 `gc.reflogExpireUnreachable`, which in turn defaults to 65 30 days. 66 67--all:: 68 Instead of listing <refs> explicitly, prune all refs. 69 70Author 71------ 72Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 73 74Documentation 75-------------- 76Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 77 78GIT 79--- 80Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite
