# NAME

|
|
|
git-recover-repository - Fix a broken git repository
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git-recover-repository [--force]
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This can fix a corrupt or broken git repository, which git fsck would
|
|
only complain has problems.
|
|
|
|
It does by deleting all corrupt objects, and retreiving all missing
|
|
objects that it can from the remotes of the repository.
|
|
|
|
If that is not sufficient to fully recover the repository, it can also
|
|
reset branches back to commits before the corruption happened. It will only
|
|
do this if run with the --force option, since that rewrites history
|
|
and throws out missing data.
