Request to run GC on repo

Hello, I would like to request to run a GC on my repository (kuliha/odvoz-odpadu) after I have removed large files from my history.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hey @kuliha 

I have triggered GC on the affected repository and the size is now reduced to 600++MB.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Syahrul

Hello,

thank you for running GC. There is however still some discrepancy. In the repository downloads it says 607.8 MB, but when I download it I get a 14.5 MB zip, which is the expected repo size when I analyze it using git.

Is there something else I should run on my side to free the additional space from quota?

 

Thanks

Branislav

Hey @kuliha 

Thanks for the update

Can you try doing a bare clone and check the clone size? You can use the following example:

git clone --mirror <URL>

Then run the following commands to check the clone size

git count-objects -vH

Please let me know the results.

Regards,
Syahrul
