How to force git garbage collection?

Deadcow

We hit the 4gb limit and I did followed "Reduce repository size" guide to revert latest commit and also I turned "Delete dangling commits when over size limit" on in Labs, but somehow repo size just increased in size even more and it stays 5.9 GB for now for a few days, it seems that git gc were not initiated

url of the repo: git@bitbucket.org:DoMyBestGames/school.git

*upd 1

Oh we did figured out that "Delete dangling commits when over size limit" setting is set per user and not per repo as I thought. We enabled this feature for the second user of this repo (he did the final commit) and hopefully this will trigger garbage collection, we'll see in a minutes I guess

*upd 2

Nope, three hours passed, no difference 🙄

Hi!

could you create a new repo in bitbucket and push old local repo and look the size after new git clone ?

Deadcow

I tried that, it is much lower in size. I think gc should help. Seemingly only atlassian admins can help with this

Vishwas

Hey @Deadcow

I have seen Atlassian Team checking from there end and doing gc. Hopefully they will reply here soon

Meanwhile have you checked this bfg utility which allows to do gc

Yeah! I found out about bfg just when we hit the 4gb limit and now I'm afraid to use it while we have dangling uncommited changes.

I'd like to try this tool for sure when I get back controls over the repo
