git-maintenance: Halt the background maintenance schedule for the current repository.

$ git maintenance stop

try on your machine

The command git maintenance stop is used to stop an ongoing maintenance process in Git.

In Git, there is a built-in maintenance process that runs in the background to optimize the repository and perform various cleanup tasks. This process includes activities like performing garbage collection, creating/optimizing pack files, and running other maintenance tasks that help keep the repository efficient.

Sometimes, you may want to manually stop this maintenance process. The git maintenance stop command allows you to do that.

When you run git maintenance stop, Git will send a signal to the maintenance process, instructing it to stop immediately. Once the command is executed successfully, the maintenance process will be terminated, and any ongoing maintenance tasks will be halted.
