SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-prune' [-n] [--] [<head>...]
+'git-prune' [-n] [--expire <expire>] [--] [<head>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
+NOTE: In most cases, users should run linkgit:git-gc[1], which calls
+git-prune. See the section "NOTES", below.
+
This runs `git-fsck --unreachable` using all the refs
available in `$GIT_DIR/refs`, optionally with additional set of
-objects specified on the command line, and prunes all
+objects specified on the command line, and prunes all unpacked
objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database.
In addition, it
prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by
running `git prune-packed`.
+Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is
+not desired, see linkgit:git-repack[1].
+
OPTIONS
-------
\--::
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
+\--expire <time>::
+ Only expire loose objects older than <time>.
+
<head>...::
In addition to objects
reachable from any of our references, keep objects
$ git prune $(cd ../another && $(git-rev-parse --all))
------------
+Notes
+-----
+
+In most cases, users will not need to call git-prune directly, but
+should instead call linkgit:git-gc[1], which handles pruning along with
+many other housekeeping tasks.
+
+For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see
+git-fsck's --unreachable option.
