GIT-DIAGNOSE(1) Git Manual GIT-DIAGNOSE(1)
NAME
git-diagnose - Generate a zip archive of diagnostic information
SYNOPSIS
git diagnose [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
[--mode=<mode>]
DESCRIPTION
Collects detailed information about the user’s machine, Git client, and
repository state and packages that information into a zip archive. The
generated archive can then, for example, be shared with the Git mailing
list to help debug an issue or serve as a reference for independent
debugging.
By default, the following information is captured in the archive:
• git version --build-options
• The path to the repository root
• The available disk space on the filesystem
• The name and size of each packfile, including those in alternate
object stores
• The total count of loose objects, as well as counts broken down by
.git/objects subdirectory
Additional information can be collected by selecting a different
diagnostic mode using the --mode option.
This tool differs from git-bugreport(1) in that it collects much more
detailed information with a greater focus on reporting the size and
data shape of repository contents.
OPTIONS
-o <path>, --output-directory <path>
Place the resulting diagnostics archive in <path> instead of the
current directory.
-s <format>, --suffix <format>
Specify an alternate suffix for the diagnostics archive name, to
create a file named git-diagnostics-<formatted suffix>. This should
take the form of a strftime(3) format string; the current local
time will be used.
--mode=(stats|all)
Specify the type of diagnostics that should be collected. The
default behavior of git diagnose is equivalent to --mode=stats.
The --mode=all option collects everything included in --mode=stats,
as well as copies of .git, .git/hooks, .git/info, .git/logs, and
.git/objects/info directories. This additional information may be
sensitive, as it can be used to reconstruct the full contents of
the diagnosed repository. Users should exercise caution when
sharing an archive generated with --mode=all.
