Run garbage collection on repository

Hi Atlassian team,

I’ve rewritten my Git history and reduced its size. But when checking repository size, it reports a much larger size (725.62 MB). When I run "git count-objects -vH" it returns 1.64MiB. Could you run garbage collection and recalculate the repo size on your end?

The BitBucket environment linked in this ticket is not the correct one. I tried to link the correct one but I do not see it in the list even though I am admin.

Thanks very much!

Hey @Hossam Osman 

Welcome to the community!

I have triggered GC, and the repository size remains the same. Can you raise a support ticket in our Support portal, as I can see you have a paid workspace?

Regards,
Syahrul

Dear @Syahrul ,

 

Thank you for running the GC.

I tried multiple times to raise a support ticket, but it does not let me.

This is the message I am seeing when I enter the repo url:

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Kind regards,

Hossam
