# cd to the directory containing your project repositories and run the command

# and runs paranoid fscks in them to check their integrity.

# I have 81 git repos in my ~/proj directory and had no errors.
# You might get messages about dangling commits, dangling blobs, etc. Those
# aren't errors. If it prints "OK" at the end, your repos are all valid.
# Please leave a comment here saying whether the command succeeded or not (even
# if it said "OK"!). Also name your OS and file system. If it failed, please
# paste the bottom of the error, starting with the last "git fsck" command.
