NAME
gerrit gc - Run the Git garbage collection
SYNOPSIS
ssh -p <port> <host> gerrit gc [--all] [--show-progress] <NAME> …
DESCRIPTION
Runs the Git garbage collection for the specified projects.
A Gerrit system administrator can define the default parameters that should be used for running the garbage collection in the user global Git configuration file of the system user that runs the Gerrit server.
Since the user global Git configuration file is overlaid with the Git configuration on repository level it is possible to specify repository specific parameters for the garbage collection in the Git repository configuration of every project.
