git-count-objects: Display a count of all objects and their total disk usage, displaying sizes in human-readable units.
$ git count-objects --human-readable
try on your machine
The command "git count-objects --human-readable" is used to check the disk space usage of a Git repository.
When you execute this command in a Git repository, it will output some statistics about the objects (commits, trees, blobs, etc.) in the repository. By default, it shows the size of the objects in bytes.
However, by adding the "human-readable" flag, the command displays the size in a more human-friendly format, such as using units like KB, MB, or GB, depending on the size of the objects.
This can be useful to quickly check the overall disk space usage of a Git repository and understand how much space the objects are taking up.
