How to prevent Git Gui from showing "loose objects" message on startup?


  • Git Gui
  • Os: Ubuntu
  • Ruby on rails project

I am getting this confirmation every time on program startup.

This repository currently has approximately 2304 loose objects.

Will pressing 'yes' affect my project in anyways ?

Solution

  • What are the "loose objects" that the Git GUI refers to? probably will answer this for you. Basically, just press the yes button.

    Loose objects are the simpler format. It is simply the compressed data stored in a single file on disk. Every object written to a seperate file.
