Unable to reduce my repository size

raubel

Hello,

I tried to reduce the size of my repository (m*w***g***) by removing some large files from the history (using 'git filter-branch'), but it didn't reduce on the server.

Looking at other messages from the community, it looks like a 'git gc' needs to be run on Bitbucket side.

Can someone do that?

Thanks in advance,

Rémi

@raubel welcome to the Atlassian community

I have escalated to Atlassian so they can run garbage collection.

Hi @raubel

I have executed a garbage collection on the server-side to clear out the dangling commits created by your cleanup operations. This has reduced the size down from 1900MB to 900MB.

Your workspace is currently sitting at 1.0GB, so I'd recommend performing further maintenance by checking for large files and removing them - the below command will print all large files in your repo:

git rev-list --objects --all \
| git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' \
| awk '/^blob/ {print substr($0,6)}' \
| sort -r --numeric-sort --key=2 \
| numfmt --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest
