# Verifies the connectivity and validity of the objects in the database
git fsck --full

# Manage reflog information
git reflog expire --expire=now --all

# Pack unpacked objects in a repository
git repack -a -d -l 

# Cleanup unnecessary files and optimize the local repository and prune all unreachable objects from the object database
git gc --prune=now --aggressive
