Good morning,
I have tidied up one of my repos which was excessively large, by creating a new branch, moving a snapshot across, and then removing the old branch with the no longer needed history.
This has been force pushed, and I noted a dramatic drop in size after a short delay (presumably while the GC ran) from 3.2gb to 0.9gb.
However, when cloning locally, even with a full set of the content extracted (and not just the .git folder) - I am only seeing 0.3gb, which is closer to my expectation.
When running git count-objects -v on the freshly cloned repo, I get the following :-
git count-objects -v
count: 0
size: 0
in-pack: 1097
packs: 1
size-pack: 85064
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
size-garbage: 0
The repo in question within my account is az*_dep*
I do not have any pull requests that could be holding a lock on any files.
I would appreciate any advice you can provide, or any further GC that can be run on your side to keep me well below the 1gb limit for this repo.
Many thanks
Matt
