GIT-COMMIT-GRAPH(1) Git Manual GIT-COMMIT-GRAPH(1)
git-commit-graph - Write and verify Git commit-graph files
git commit-graph verify [--object-dir <dir>] [--shallow] [--[no-]progress]
git commit-graph write [--object-dir <dir>] [--append]
[--split[=<strategy>]] [--reachable | --stdin-packs | --stdin-commits]
[--changed-paths] [--[no-]max-new-filters <n>] [--[no-]progress]
<split-options>
Manage the serialized commit-graph file.
--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 in the <dir>/info directory and the packfiles are
expected to be in <dir>/pack. If the directory could not be
made into an absolute path, or does not match any known
object directory, git commit-graph ... will exit with
non-zero status.
--[no-]progress
Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified,
progress is shown if standard error is connected to a
terminal.
write
Write a commit-graph file based on the commits found in
packfiles. If the config option core.commitGraph is disabled,
then this command will output a warning, then return success
without writing a commit-graph file.
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. OIDs that
resolve to non-commits (either directly, or by peeling tags)
are silently ignored. OIDs that are malformed, or do not
exist generate an error. (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.
With the --changed-paths option, compute and write
information about the paths changed between a commit and its
first parent. This operation can take a while on large
repositories. It provides significant performance gains for
getting history of a directory or a file with git log --
<path>. If this option is given, future commit-graph writes
will automatically assume that this option was intended. Use
--no-changed-paths to stop storing this data.
With the --max-new-filters=<n> option, generate at most n new
Bloom filters (if --changed-paths is specified). If n is -1,
no limit is enforced. Only commits present in the new layer
count against this limit. To retroactively compute Bloom
filters over earlier layers, it is advised to use
--split=replace. Overrides the commitGraph.maxNewFilters
configuration.
With the --split[=<strategy>] option, write the commit-graph
as a chain of multiple commit-graph files stored in
<dir>/info/commit-graphs. Commit-graph layers are merged
based on the strategy and other splitting options. The new
commits not already in the commit-graph are added in a new
"tip" file. This file is merged with the existing file if the
following merge conditions are met:
• If --split=no-merge is specified, a merge is never
performed, and the remaining options are ignored.
--split=replace overwrites the existing chain with a new
one. A bare --split defers to the remaining options.
(Note that merging a chain of commit graphs replaces the
existing chain with a length-1 chain where the first and
only incremental holds the entire graph).
• If --size-multiple=<X> is not specified, let X equal 2.
If the new tip file would have N commits and the previous
tip has M commits and X times N is greater than M,
instead merge the two files into a single file.
• If --max-commits=<M> is specified with M a positive
integer, and the new tip file would have more than M
commits, then instead merge the new tip with the previous
tip.
Finally, if --expire-time=<datetime> is not specified,
let datetime be the current time. After writing the split
commit-graph, delete all unused commit-graph whose
modified times are older than datetime.
verify
Read the commit-graph file and verify its contents against
the object database. Used to check for corrupted data.
With the --shallow option, only check the tip commit-graph
file in a chain of split commit-graphs.
• 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
Everything below this line in this section is selectively
included from the git-config(1) documentation. The content is the
same as what’s found there:
commitGraph.generationVersion
Specifies the type of generation number version to use when
writing or reading the commit-graph file. If version 1 is
specified, then the corrected commit dates will not be
written or read. Defaults to 2.
commitGraph.maxNewFilters
Specifies the default value for the --max-new-filters option
of git commit-graph write (c.f., git-commit-graph(1)).
commitGraph.readChangedPaths
If true, then git will use the changed-path Bloom filters in
the commit-graph file (if it exists, and they are present).
Defaults to true. See git-commit-graph(1) for more
information.
see gitformat-commit-graph(5).
