Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Restrict my search to current directory. Post 302147783 by gus2000 on Wednesday 28th of November 2007 12:49:35 PM

The "-prune" command prevents subdirectories from being opened. So it's pretty worthless to run "find . -prune" since it only returns ".". You need this:

Code:
cd /mydir/mypath
find * -prune -user root

This runs "find" against every entry in the current directory (since "*" is expanded by the shell). No subdirectories are traversed. Any files that are owned by user "root" will match and be displayed. Note that "*" does not include hidden files, and that "find *" will fail if there are too many files in the current directory.

NAME
git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database SYNOPSIS
git prune [-n] [-v] [--expire <expire>] [--] [<head>...] DESCRIPTION
Note In most cases, users should run git gc, which calls git prune. See the section "NOTES", below. This runs git fsck --unreachable using all the refs available in refs/, optionally with additional set of objects specified on the command line, and prunes all unpacked objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database. In addition, it prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by running git prune-packed. Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is not desired, see git-repack(1). OPTIONS
-n, --dry-run Do not remove anything; just report what it would remove. -v, --verbose Report all removed objects. -- Do not interpret any more arguments as options. --expire <time> Only expire loose objects older than <time>. <head>... In addition to objects reachable from any of our references, keep objects reachable from listed <head>s. EXAMPLE
To prune objects not used by your repository nor another that borrows from your repository via its .git/objects/info/alternates: $ git prune $(cd ../another && git rev-parse --all) NOTES
In most cases, users will not need to call git prune directly, but should instead call git gc, which handles pruning along with many other housekeeping tasks. For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see git fsck's --unreachable option. SEE ALSO
