Why BitBucket Cloud is showing a different size than my local repo?

Hi,

I need help again ASAP to run the git gc on our 3 remote repos stored in my bitbucket cloud because I already did all the steps to reduce locally the size but it has not synced in the cloud. I need a cleanup on a repos and any help is welcome, thanks.

Hey @MCSAEP 

While your local repository size has been reduced, have these changes been pushed to the remote repository? Local changes don't sync automatically; a git push is required to push the changes to the remote.

I have manually triggered garbage collection (GC) on all three repositories, but the remote sizes remain unchanged. This suggests the size-reduction changes have not yet been pushed. Please let me know once you have pushed the updates so I can verify the results.

Regards,
Syahrul
