6 git-reflog - Manage reflog information
9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 'git reflog' <subcommand> <options>
13 DESCRIPTION
14 -----------
15 The command takes various subcommands, and different options
16 depending on the subcommand:
18 [verse]
19 git reflog expire [--dry-run] [--stale-fix]
20 [--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>...
22 git reflog [show] [log-options]
24 Reflog is a mechanism to record when the tip of branches are
25 updated. This command is to manage the information recorded in it.
27 The subcommand "expire" is used to prune older reflog entries.
28 Entries older than `expire` time, or entries older than
29 `expire-unreachable` time and are not reachable from the current
30 tip, are removed from the reflog. This is typically not used
31 directly by the end users -- instead, see gitlink:git-gc[1].
33 The subcommand "show" (which is also the default, in the absense of any
34 subcommands) will take all the normal log options, and show the log of
35 the current branch. It is basically an alias for 'git log -g --abbrev-commit
36 --pretty=oneline', see gitlink:git-log[1].
39 OPTIONS
40 -------
42 --expire=<time>::
43 Entries older than this time are pruned. Without the
44 option it is taken from configuration `gc.reflogExpire`,
45 which in turn defaults to 90 days.
47 --expire-unreachable=<time>::
48 Entries older than this time and are not reachable from
49 the current tip of the branch are pruned. Without the
50 option it is taken from configuration
51 `gc.reflogExpireUnreachable`, which in turn defaults to
52 30 days.
54 --all::
55 Instead of listing <refs> explicitly, prune all refs.
