# NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git-annex forget - prune git-annex branch history
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex forget
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Causes the git-annex branch to be rewritten, throwing away historical
|
||
|
|
data about past locations of files. The resulting branch will use less
|
||
|
|
space, but `git annex log` will not be able to show where
|
||
|
|
files used to be located.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When this rewritten branch is merged into other clones of
|
||
|
|
the repository, `git-annex` will automatically perform the same rewriting
|
||
|
|
to their local `git-annex` branches. So the forgetfulness will automatically
|
||
|
|
propagate out from its starting point until all repositories running
|
||
|
|
git-annex have forgotten their old history. (You may need to force
|
||
|
|
git to push the branch to any git repositories not running git-annex.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `--drop-dead`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also prune references to repositories that have been marked as dead.
