## NAME
       git-count-objects - Count unpacked number of objects and their disk consumption

## SYNOPSIS
       _git_ _count-objects_ [-v] [-H | --human-readable]


## DESCRIPTION
       Counts the number of unpacked object files and disk space consumed by them, to help you
       decide when it is a good time to repack.

## OPTIONS
### -v, --verbose
           Provide more detailed reports:

           count: the number of loose objects

           size: disk space consumed by loose objects, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

           in-pack: the number of in-pack objects

           size-pack: disk space consumed by the packs, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

           prune-packable: the number of loose objects that are also present in the packs. These
           objects could be pruned using **git prune-packed**.

           garbage: the number of files in the object database that are neither valid loose objects
           nor valid packs

           size-garbage: disk space consumed by garbage files, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

           alternate: absolute path of alternate object databases; may appear multiple times, one
           line per path. Note that if the path contains non-printable characters, it may be
           surrounded by double-quotes and contain C-style backslashed escape sequences.

### -H, --human-readable
           Print sizes in human readable format
