Repository size, need assistance to run gc

Tigran Asaturjan

Hello,

 

We have (one) workspace in which we have 3 repositories, one of which used to be close to 700MB. We have successfully cleaned it up, but it still shows ~650MB. Locally it says ~42MB.

Repository name ends with `*client`.

Could you please assist us on this?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @Tigran Asaturjan ,

There's an active feature request for users to be able to trigger a full git gc on cloud: BCLOUD-11593: Allow users to mark repositories for git gc (BB-13894) 
As stated in the suggestion, you can reach out to Atlassian Support and they should be able to assist you with this. 👈

Here's also an article that might help: Reduce repository size 

Generally speaking, when repo is over 75% of the limit, after you've rewritten history and force-pushed, an automatic GC may be triggered. 

Cheers,
Tobi

Hello and welcome to Atlassian Community @Tigran Asaturjan 

I requested Assistance for you, as it probably needs Garbage collection from Backend initiated by support.

Best,

Arkadiusz 🤠 ☀️
