Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So
===================================
<<Basic Repository>> commands are needed by people who have a
repository --- that is everybody, because every working tree of
git is a repository.
In addition, <<Individual Developer (Standalone)>> commands are
essential for anybody who makes a commit, even for somebody who
works alone.

If you work with other people, you will need commands listed in

Everybody uses these commands to maintain git repositories.
* linkgit:git-init[1] or linkgit:git-clone[1] to create a
new repository.
* linkgit:git-fsck[1] to check the repository for errors.
* linkgit:git-gc[1] to do common housekeeping tasks such as
repack and prune.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Check health and remove cruft.::
+
------------
$ git fsck <1>
$ git count-objects <2>
$ git gc <3>
------------

<1> running without `\--full` is usually cheap and assures the
repository health reasonably well.
<2> check how many loose objects there are and how much
disk space is wasted by not repacking.
<3> repacks the local repository and performs other housekeeping tasks.
Repack a small project into single pack.::
+
------------
$ git gc <1>
------------
+
<1> pack all the objects reachable from the refs into one pack,
then remove the other packs.
