Run garbage collection on repository

[Julien Dephix]

Hi!

We've cleaned up our repo by removing large files.

When I clone the repo its local size is 18Mo. On Bitbucket UI it says 1.2Go.

Will GC be triggered automagically or does it need human intervention on Bitbucket's side?

We had a message regarding a workspace limit of 1GB being reached so workspace was readonly, blocking all repos.

When do you display this message ? When the sum of all repos sizes within a workspace reach 1GB or when a single repo is over 1GB?

Thanks!

Hi @Julien Dephix

Thank you for reaching out to the community.

I've run Git GC against the remote repository with the 1.2 GB size. However, it only reduced to 1 GB.

Could you confirm how you reduced the repo size?

Hi Mark.

We used filter-repo to remove traces of a Here sdk. My colleague just pushed the changes to a new repo with the suffix 2 and BitBucket UI reports 13Mo!

Is the difference due to dangling refs to said sdk in some PRs?

Hi @Julien Dephix

Run Git GC again to your top repository with the size of 1.3 GB and it reduced to 848 MB.

Unfortunately, your overall workspace size is still above 1 GB.

Could you try using the BFG tool as mentioned in our documentation and see if that helps reduce the size further?
