My repository is over the size limits for my workspace due to committing some large data files. I have reset the repo to before these files were committed and force pushed. The remote repo is still large (> 1GB), can a git gc be run to remove the dangling commits?

 

Many thanks

Hello @wc ,

and welcome to the Community!

We have triggered a garbage collection on your repository, which helped to reduce its size back to 95KB :)

With this change, your workspace total size is now within the storage limit of 1GB :)

Let us know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @wc !
