Not able to push even after reducing the repo size to less than 4GB

Ondot_Build

Dear Team,

Seeing this below error and with help of  BFG Tool, we reduced the size to less than 4GB and still we are not able to push. Kindly help us with the issue .

Repository size exceeds limit

This repository is over the 4 GB limit and your contributors are not able to push new commits. To resolve this, reduce the repository size.

Hi Lalith,

Since you have already reduced your repo size locally with BFG, I went ahead and temporarily increased the repo size limit, so you can push your changes.

After you do, the repo's size will get increased again, because the Bitbucket repo will contain both old refs (prior to history rewrite) and the new ones. Please feel free to let me know after you make this push, and I can then run a git gc so that the old refs get removed, and the remote repo's size should get reduced.

Just to give you some context on why the automated git gc did not run for your repo:

When a repo is over the size limit, the only thing that can be pushed is a git reset that undoes the latest large commits, you can find more details in our documentation here:

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/reduce-repository-size/#Undoing-the-last-push

If you enable the Labs feature Delete dangling commits when over size limit and follow the steps on this guide, a git gc should get triggered for the repo automatically. The git gc will not get triggered if you push anything else, like history rewrite with BFG.

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

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

Kind regards,
Theodora
