those that were added to the indexīut never committed, or referenced only by orphaned commits), and files which are still To distinguish between totally unreachable files (e.g. In addition to the overhead of calling the remote, using this option also requires prune You can make this behaviour the default by setting lfs.pruneverifyremotealways to true. See DEFAULT REMOTE for which remote is checked. Make prune actually call the remote API and verify the presence of the files you´re about Usually the check performed by UNPUSHED LFS FILES is enough to determine that files haveīeen pushed, but if you want to be extra sure at the expense of extra overhead you can Have copies on the remote before actually deleting them. The -verify-remote option calls the remote to ensure that any LFS files to be deleted See DEFAULT REMOTE, for which remote is considered ´pushed´ for pruning purposes. This works because the LFS pre-push hookĪlways ensures that LFS files are pushed before the remote branch is updated. Refs and remote refs where the local ref is ahead, any LFS files referenced in thoseĬommits is unpushed and will not be deleted. To determine whether an LFS file has been pushed, we check the difference between local That file can never be pruned, regardless of how old it is. When the only copy of an LFS file is local, and it is still reachable from any reference, Not used at all to retain objects and they will be pruned. If a day value is zero, that condition is Window is considered old enough to prune. Anything which falls outside of this offsetted These have the same meaning as git-lfs-fetch(1) with the -recent option, they are lfs.fetchrecentrefsdays lfs.fetchrecentremoterefs lfs.fetchrecentcommitsdays.Only used if the relevant fetch recent ´days´ setting is non-zero. This many days older than the oldest reference that would be downloaded via git lfs fetch -recent.

So for a reference to be considered old enough to prune, it has to be The number of extra days added to the fetch recent settings when using them to decide Here are the git-config(1) settings that control this behaviour:

The definition of ´recent´ is derived from the one usedīy git-lfs-fetch(1) to download recent objects with the -recent option, with an offset ofĪ number of days (default 3) to ensure that we always keep files you download for a few Prune won´t delete LFS files referenced by ´recent´ commits, in case you want to use themĪgain without having to download.

-no-verify-remote Disables remote verification if lfs.pruneverifyremotealways was.

-verify-remote -c Contact the remote and check that copies of the files we wouldĭelete definitely exist before deleting.

-dry-run -d Don´t actually delete anything, just report on what would have been done.Note: you should not run git lfs prune if you have different repositories sharing the sameĬustom storage directory see git-lfs-config(1) for more details about lfs.storage option. Therefore LFS objects that are only referenced The reflog is not considered, only commits. ´recent´, so long as they´ve been pushed i.e. In general terms, prune will delete files you´re not currently using and which are not any other worktree checkouts see git-worktree(1).a commit which has not been pushed see UNPUSHED LFS FILES.a ´recent commit´ on the current branch or recent branches see RECENT FILES.Not referenced by at least ONE of the following: Operates by enumerating all the locally stored objects, and then deleting any which are SYNOPSIS git lfs prune options DESCRIPTIONĭeletes local copies of LFS files which are old, thus freeing up disk space.

I have also tried reading the Git LFS Server Documentation which mentions the git-lfs-authenticate command, but it doesn't explain where to find it or how to implement it.NAME git-lfs-prune - Delete old LFS files from local storage I have also tried searching for a binary named git-lfs-authenticate but it is not present in any of the releases of Git LFS. The output is now slightly different, but I still get the same error: $ git push origin main |& cat I have tried using the latest version of Git LFS on both hosts by placing the git-lfs binary in /usr/local/bin. These are the current versions of Debian 10 and 11, respectively.

On the local host, I use git-lfs/2.13.2 and on the remote host git-lfs/2.7.1.
