Hello World,
I am currently working on a GSoC project in Jenkins organization. The project aims to bring git cache maintenance to Jenkins. Jenkins software supports both git and jgit.

The cli git introduced the git maintenance api in git version 2.30. This api helps maintaining the git repositories present on the system. Tasks such as GC, prefetch, commit-graph etc can be scheduled using this command.

Is there something similar in JGit? I looked through the documentation and couldn't find anything regarding maintenance in JGit.

It would be helpful if I call each task as a command i.e a GC as a command, prefetch as a command etc.

I am not able to add the url of cli git-maintenace documentation as I am a new user.

Thank You
Hrushikesh Rao

jgit does not yet support
- commit-graph (still in review here https://git.eclipse.org/r/q/topic:commit-graph)
- multi-pack index
- prefetch
- loose-objects strategy to pack loose objects separately
- support for maintenance.* config options
- support for maintenance commands in jgit command line client

gc and packing refs are available in the existing jgit implementation

Contributions are always welcome. So if you are interesting in closing some of these gaps
