In Git, the command used to display the objects and references in the repository's object database is:
git fsck --full
This command performs a consistency check on the repository and lists all objects, their types, and their references. Another useful command to examine the objects in the object database is:
git rev-list --all
This command will list all commits (which are the objects) in the repository. If you want to explore the raw objects directly in the .git/objects directory, you can also look there, but using the aforementioned commands is the preferred way to inspect the object database in a more user-friendly format.
