Hi @이현기,

I can see that a support ticket was created as well for this issue, and the engineer working on your ticket ran a git gc and the repo's size has been reduced.

If a repo's size goes over the size limit, the only thing that can be pushed is a git reset that undoes the last (bad) commit in Bitbucket. The user that will push this, should enable the Labs feature "Delete dangling commits when over size limit" on this page https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/features/ prior to pushing. You can read more details here.

This is useful when the repo's size goes over the limit because of a large commit that was accidentally pushed and you want to undo it.

If large files exist in several other commits and you want to rewrite history to reduce the repo's size, you will need to contact us so we can run a git gc on the Bitbucket repo after you push your changes.

Just a heads up, I removed your email and the repo name from your post to protect your privacy.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Kind regards,
Theodora
