git fsck is a command that checks the integrity of a Git repository's object database. It reports whether object hashes match their contents, whether references are broken, and whether there are dangling objects that nothing points to, and it is used to find problematic objects when object files become empty or corrupted due to disk damage or abnormal termination. This page collects cases of recovering corrupted objects.
