$ git count-objects

try on your machine

The git count-objects command is used to display various information about the packed and loose objects in a Git repository.

When you run this command, it provides you with a summary of the number of objects and disk space used by Git. It calculates the following:

The total number of objects in the repository, including both packed and loose objects.
The number of objects that are stored in packs.
The number of loose objects that are not yet packed.
The disk space used by the objects, including both packed and loose objects.

The output of the git count-objects command generally looks like this:

count: number of objects
size: disk space used by objects
in-pack: number of objects in packs
packs: number of packs
size-pack: disk space used by packs
prune-packable: number of objects that can be pruned
garbage: disk space used by garbage

By using this command, you can get an overview of the objects in your Git repository and understand how much disk space they consume.
