How to perform garbage collection on the repo

Wouter Thys

Hello,

I cleaned up my workwatch repository (removed history) to reduce the size.

As far as I can see other users requested garbage collection through posting a gc request here.

Could someone please run a garbage collection, or point me to how I can do this myself on the remote repository.

Kind regards,

Wouter

Hey @Wouter Thys

Thank you for reaching out to the Community!

I've manually triggered a Garbage Collection on your repository and managed to reduce its size from 1.9GB back to 55MB!

Would you please confirm if everything looks good on your end now ?

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you, @Wouter Thys !

Hello,

for some reason my repo has become 1.9Gb again.

I don't see why this is happening, there are - as far as I know - no large files in the repo.

The full size of the replo seems to be located at the .git\objects\pack\*.pack file
I have tried `git reflog expire --expire-unreachable=now --all` and `git gc --prune=now --aggressive` on my local repo, without success.

Maybe someone can help.

Kind regards,

Wouter
