  • Write a commit-graph file for the packed commits in the repository’s local .git directory:

git commit-graph write

  • Write a commit-graph file containing all reachable commits:

git show-ref *[-s|--hash]* | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits

  • Write a commit-graph file containing all commits in the current commit-graph file along with those reachable from HEAD:

git rev-parse *HEAD* | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits --append
