Hi Lalit,

I have further censored the URLs you've shared to avoid any identifiable repository/workspace information being presented here.

I've successfully run garbage collection against both repositories in the backend to clear up any dangling commits contributing to the size difference.

The first repo reduced from 491MB to 132MB and the second reduced from 2.2GB to 92MB.

Would it be possible for you to check it on your end and see if that has helped?

We want to inform you that we do have a Feature request to provide users with the option to limit the file size that is able to be pushed to GIT to prevent such issues from occurring again.

Our Dev team is currently working on implementing the feature request and we don't have any ETA for its implementation. I would suggest you "Watch" this ticket for future updates from our Dev team.

Cheers!

Thank you Ben for Providing Support regarding this, I can see Updated Size Reflected On my Side also. I want to know How can I run this from My side on remote repos or trigger the garbage collection process when i needed. so it would be very helpful.

Hi @Lalit Karole

Unfortunately, this is not possible from the user side.

Our team has done a lot of work in the background to trigger GC for the repository based on heuristic repository settings (configured in the backend) that are safe for the platform and for the objects that are being cleaned up by the GC process. Additionally, measures have been put in place to prevent users from being blocked from pushing.
Please refer to this blog post to learn more:

https://bitbucket.org/blog/updated-repository-limits-and-automatic-garbage-collection

Essentially, this process is automated and once certain garbage thresholds are reached this will be run in the backend. If more immediate garbage collection is required, this can be requested either in a support or community ticket.

Cheers!
