22 git-index-pack \- Build pack index file for an existing packed archive
26 git\-index\-pack [\-o <index\-file>] <pack\-file>
31 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\&.
37 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)\&.
