Hi, @KOLYAS, thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community.

I ran the GC against your repository and managed to reduce its size.

I also would like to share with you that we have a feature request to allow users to mark repositories for git GC, as you can check here:

* https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-11593

Please consider adding yourself as a watcher to receive the updates as we make progress with this. If you are not familiar with our Feature Request Policy, you can read more about it here.

Feel free to share any additional questions or concerns regarding this case.

Kind regards,
Caroline
