NuGet License: MIT

What does it do?

Git stores objects in two formats:

  • Loose objects: Individual files in .git/objects/
  • Pack files: Compressed bundles in .git/objects/pack/

Git also stores refs in two formats:

  • Loose refs: Individual files in .git/refs/
  • Packed refs: A single .git/packed-refs file

This tool converts pack files back to loose objects and packed refs back to individual ref files. Useful for debugging, recovery, or understanding Git internals.
