NAME top

       git-verify-pack - Validate packed Git archive files

SYNOPSIS top

       git verify-pack [-v | --verbose] [-s | --stat-only] [--] <pack>.idx...

DESCRIPTION top

       Reads given idx file for packed Git archive created with the git
       pack-objects command and verifies the idx file and the
       corresponding pack file.

OPTIONS top

       <pack>.idx ...
           The idx files to verify.

       -v, --verbose
           After verifying the pack, show the list of objects contained
           in the pack and a histogram of delta chain length.

       -s, --stat-only
           Do not verify the pack contents; only show the histogram of
           delta chain length. With --verbose, the list of objects is
           also shown.

       --
           Do not interpret any more arguments as options.

OUTPUT FORMAT top

       When specifying the -v option the format used is:

           SHA-1 type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile

       for objects that are not deltified in the pack, and

           SHA-1 type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile depth base-SHA-1

       for objects that are deltified.
