borg: Prune a repository by deleting all archives older than 7 days, listing changes.
$ borg prune --keep-within ${7d} --list ${path-to-repo_directory}
try on your machine
The command is using the borg prune command to prune (delete) unnecessary backups from a Borg backup repository.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
borg prune: This is the main command to execute the Borg pruning operation.--keep-within ${7d}: This flag specifies the time period within which the backups should be kept. In this case, it is set to7d, which means to keep backups that are within the last 7 days.--list: This flag tells Borg to list the archives that would be pruned without actually deleting them. It allows you to preview the backups that would be removed.${path-to-repo_directory}: This is the path to the Borg backup repository directory. You need to replace${path-to-repo_directory}with the actual path to the directory where your Borg backups are stored.
To clarify, this command will list the backups within the last 7 days that would be pruned from the specified Borg backup repository, without actually deleting them.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
