GIT-INDEX-PACK(1)

NAME
git-index-pack - Build pack index file for an existing packed archive

SYNOPSIS
git-index-pack [-o <index-file>] <pack-file>

DESCRIPTION
Reads a packed archive (.pack) from the specified file, and builds a pack index file (.idx) for it. The packed archive together with the pack index can then be placed in the objects/pack/ directory of a git repository.

OPTIONS

-o <index-file>
    Write the generated pack index into the specified file. Without this option the name of pack index file is constructed from the name of packed archive file by replacing .pack with .idx (and the program fails if the name of packed archive does not end with .pack).
