Run garbage collection on repository

[karljohanreite]

Hi Atlassian team,

I’ve rewritten my Git history and reduced its size. But when pushing to remote, it reports a much larger size. Could you run garbage collection and recalculate the repo size on your end?

This is for the repository [REDACTED].

Thanks very much!

Hi @karljohanreite 

After running cleanup operations, the size is expected to remain the same until a server-side GC is executed. This happens automatically once a certain garbage threshold is met or can be triggered manually by a support technician.

I've just executed a gc and it has reduced the size down from 496MB to 7MB.

Please note that this is a public forum, so I've redacted your workspaceID/repo slug - we are able to see this information so it is not necessary to share this publicly.

Cheers!

Hi Ben, 

We would like to request your (as Support Team's) help, since we are experiencing the same issue related to Garbage Collector not running automatically.

We have been trying to contact your Support Team without success. Please can you inform us what can we do in order to speed up the GC operation?

The repositories which we reduced in size are our two biggest ones. Shall you need further information in order to identify the proper projects, please don't hesistate to contact me directly.

Awaiting your kind reply.

Cheers
MS

Hi @Marco Silini 

You'll need to raise a new post, as this new post will allow us to see your account details in the backend and assist further. Please don't share any sensitive information such as workspaceID as a reply in this thread, as this is a public forum.
