Hi @swebst

you can run below command locally at any time. Running it won't have any adverse effect on your repository.

git gc

which cleans up unnecessary files and optimizes the local repository.

Bitbucket runs this operation on its hosted repositories automatically on a regular basis based on a variety of triggers.

or

Please go through the below documentation

Hi @swebst and welcome to the community!

I ran a git gc on your Bitbucket repo but its size hasn't decreased.

If you would like to remove files from Git history to reduce the repo's size, you can check the following reply of mine on another post for info:

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
