+'git commit-graph verify' [--object-dir <dir>] [--shallow] [--[no-]progress]
+'git commit-graph write' [--object-dir <dir>] [--append]

+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Manage the serialized commit-graph file.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--object-dir::
+	Use given directory for the location of packfiles and commit-graph
+	file. This parameter exists to specify the location of an alternate
+	that only has the objects directory, not a full `.git` directory. The
+	commit-graph file is expected to be in the `<dir>/info` directory and
+	the packfiles are expected to be in `<dir>/pack`. If the directory
+	could not be made into an absolute path, or does not match any known
+	object directory, `git commit-graph ...` will exit with non-zero
+	status.
+
+--[no-]progress::
+	Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified, progress is
+	shown if standard error is connected to a terminal.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+'write'::
+
+Write a commit-graph file based on the commits found in packfiles. If
+the config option `core.commitGraph` is disabled, then this command will
+output a warning, then return success without writing a commit-graph file.
++
+With the `--stdin-packs` option, generate the new commit graph by
+walking objects only in the specified pack-indexes. (Cannot be combined
+with `--stdin-commits` or `--reachable`.)
++
+With the `--stdin-commits` option, generate the new commit graph by
+walking commits starting at the commits specified in stdin as a list
+of OIDs in hex, one OID per line. OIDs that resolve to non-commits
+(either directly, or by peeling tags) are silently ignored. OIDs that
+are malformed, or do not exist generate an error. (Cannot be combined
+with `--stdin-packs` or `--reachable`.)
++
+With the `--reachable` option, generate the new commit graph by walking
+commits starting at all refs. (Cannot be combined with `--stdin-commits`
+or `--stdin-packs`.)
++
+With the `--append` option, include all commits that are present in the
+existing commit-graph file.
++
+With the `--changed-paths` option, compute and write information about the
+paths changed between a commit and its first parent. This operation can
+take a while on large repositories. It provides significant performance gains
+for getting history of a directory or a file with `git log -- <path>`. If
+this option is given, future commit-graph writes will automatically assume
+that this option was intended. Use `--no-changed-paths` to stop storing this
+data.
++
+With the `--max-new-filters=<n>` option, generate at most `n` new Bloom
+filters (if `--changed-paths` is specified). If `n` is `-1`, no limit is
+enforced. Only commits present in the new layer count against this
+limit. To retroactively compute Bloom filters over earlier layers, it is
+advised to use `--split=replace`.  Overrides the `commitGraph.maxNewFilters`
+configuration.
++
+With the `--split[=<strategy>]` option, write the commit-graph as a
+chain of multiple commit-graph files stored in
+`<dir>/info/commit-graphs`. Commit-graph layers are merged based on the
+strategy and other splitting options. The new commits not already in the
+commit-graph are added in a new "tip" file. This file is merged with the
+existing file if the following merge conditions are met:
++
+* If `--split=no-merge` is specified, a merge is never performed, and
+the remaining options are ignored. `--split=replace` overwrites the
+existing chain with a new one. A bare `--split` defers to the remaining
+options. (Note that merging a chain of commit graphs replaces the
+existing chain with a length-1 chain where the first and only
+incremental holds the entire graph).
++
+* If `--size-multiple=<X>` is not specified, let `X` equal 2. If the new
+tip file would have `N` commits and the previous tip has `M` commits and
+`X` times `N` is greater than  `M`, instead merge the two files into a
+single file.
++
+* If `--max-commits=<M>` is specified with `M` a positive integer, and the
+new tip file would have more than `M` commits, then instead merge the new
+tip with the previous tip.
++
+Finally, if `--expire-time=<datetime>` is not specified, let `datetime`
+be the current time. After writing the split commit-graph, delete all
+unused commit-graph whose modified times are older than `datetime`.
+
+'verify'::
+
+Read the commit-graph file and verify its contents against the object
+database. Used to check for corrupted data.
++
+With the `--shallow` option, only check the tip commit-graph file in
+a chain of split commit-graphs.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+* Write a commit-graph file for the packed commits in your local `.git`
+  directory.
++
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git commit-graph write
+------------------------------------------------
+
+* Write a commit-graph file, extending the current commit-graph file
+  using commits in `<pack-index>`.
++
+------------------------------------------------
+$ echo <pack-index> | git commit-graph write --stdin-packs
+------------------------------------------------
+
+* Write a commit-graph file containing all reachable commits.
++
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git show-ref -s | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
+------------------------------------------------
+
+* Write a commit-graph file containing all commits in the current
+  commit-graph file along with those reachable from `HEAD`.
++
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git rev-parse HEAD | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits --append
+------------------------------------------------
