NAME
git-reflog - Manage reflog information
SYNOPSIS
git reflog <subcommand> <options>
DESCRIPTION
The command takes various subcommands, and different options depending on the subcommand:
git reflog expire [--dry-run] [--stale-fix] [--verbose]
[--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>...
git reflog delete ref@{specifier}...
git reflog [show] [log-options] [<ref>]
Reflog is a mechanism to record when the tip of branches are updated. This command is to
manage the information recorded in it.
The subcommand "expire" is used to prune older reflog entries. Entries older than expire
time, or entries older than expire-unreachable time and not reachable from the current
tip, are removed from the reflog. This is typically not used directly by the end users —
instead, see git-gc(1).
The subcommand "show" (which is also the default, in the absence of any subcommands) will
take all the normal log options, and show the log of the reference provided in the
command-line (or HEAD, by default). The reflog will cover all recent actions (HEAD reflog
records branch switching as well). It is an alias for git log -g --abbrev-commit
--pretty=oneline; see git-log(1).
The reflog is useful in various Git commands, to specify the old value of a reference. For
example, HEAD@{2} means "where HEAD used to be two moves ago", master@{one.week.ago} means
"where master used to point to one week ago", and so on. See gitrevisions(7) for more
details.
To delete single entries from the reflog, use the subcommand "delete" and specify the
exact entry (e.g. "git reflog delete master@{2}").
OPTIONS
--stale-fix
This revamps the logic — the definition of "broken commit" becomes: a commit that is
not reachable from any of the refs and there is a missing object among the commit,
tree, or blob objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the refs.
This computation involves traversing all the reachable objects, i.e. it has the same
cost as git prune. Fortunately, once this is run, we should not have to ever worry
about missing objects, because the current prune and pack-objects know about reflogs
and protect objects referred by them.
--expire=<time>
Entries older than this time are pruned. Without the option it is taken from
configuration gc.reflogExpire, which in turn defaults to 90 days. --expire=all prunes
entries regardless of their age; --expire=never turns off pruning of reachable entries
(but see --expire-unreachable).
--expire-unreachable=<time>
Entries older than this time and not reachable from the current tip of the branch are
pruned. Without the option it is taken from configuration gc.reflogExpireUnreachable,
which in turn defaults to 30 days. --expire-unreachable=all prunes unreachable entries
regardless of their age; --expire-unreachable=never turns off early pruning of
unreachable entries (but see --expire).
--all
Instead of listing <refs> explicitly, prune all refs.
--updateref
Update the ref with the sha1 of the top reflog entry (i.e. <ref>@{0}) after expiring
or deleting.
--rewrite
While expiring or deleting, adjust each reflog entry to ensure that the old sha1 field
points to the new sha1 field of the previous entry.
--verbose
Print extra information on screen.
