Hi,

I have a large repo size with 2.9 GB, so I have following the BFG documentation, and ran all the needed commands, then pushing the decreased sized repo(~700MB) to the remote repo, the repo size became 3.6 GB!.

So, please run a git gc on the remote to clean up the server.  Thank you!

Hi @stefanovinci2f

Welcome to the community.

Could you check your repository size now?
