Run garbage collection on repository

kenforte/sites-templates

I rewrote the history of my repository kenforte/sites-templates using git filter-repo to remove large binary files from old commits, then force-pushed the cleaned history to main.

Six days later, still the repository reports its pre-rewrite size. It currently shows approximately 833 MB, whereas the actual reachable repository size after the cleanup is approximately 405 MB. The orphaned objects from before the rewrite do not appear to have been garbage collected.

Could you please trigger garbage collection on this repository manually.

Thank you.
