The +generated archive can then, for example, be shared with the Git mailing list to +help debug an issue or serve as a reference for independent debugging. + +By default, the following information is captured in the archive: + + * 'git version --build-options' + * The path to the repository root + * The available disk space on the filesystem + * The name and size of each packfile, including those in alternate object + stores + * The total count of loose objects, as well as counts broken down by + `.git/objects` subdirectory + +Additional information can be collected by selecting a different diagnostic mode +using the `--mode` option. + +This tool differs from linkgit:git-bugreport[1] in that it collects much more +detailed information with a greater focus on reporting the size and data shape +of repository contents. + +OPTIONS +------- +-o <path>:: +--output-directory <path>:: + Place the resulting diagnostics archive in `<path>` instead of the + current directory. + +-s <format>:: +--suffix <format>:: + Specify an alternate suffix for the diagnostics archive name, to create + a file named 'git-diagnostics-<formatted suffix>'. This should take the + form of a strftime(3) format string; the current local time will be + used. + +--mode=(stats|all):: + Specify the type of diagnostics that should be collected. The default behavior + of 'git diagnose' is equivalent to `--mode=stats`. ++ +The `--mode=all` option collects everything included in `--mode=stats`, as well +as copies of `.git`, `.git/hooks`, `.git/info`, `.git/logs`, and +`.git/objects/info` directories. This additional information may be sensitive, +as it can be used to reconstruct the full contents of the diagnosed repository. +Users should exercise caution when sharing an archive generated with +`--mode=all`. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
