14.6. Tidying an Application
Tidying an application helps manage application disk space, and performs the following functions:
- Run the
git gc
command on the application's Git repository on the server. - Clear the application's
/tmp
and log file directories that are specified by the application'sOPENSHIFT_LOG_DIR
andOPENSHIFT_TMP_DIR
environment variables. - Clear unused application libraries and remove any library files previously installed by a
git push
command.
Important
Log files are not automatically backed up or rotated. Tidying an application runs the
rm -rf
command to clear the contents of these directories. Before performing this step, save the log files by creating a snapshot of the system with the rhc snapshot save
command.
Tidy an application with the following command:
$ rhc app tidy App_Name
