.SH "SYNOPSIS"


git\-index\-pack [\-o <index\-file>] <pack\-file>

.SH "DESCRIPTION"


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\&.

.SH "OPTIONS"
