When I tried to a commit today, I got a message that said my files were over 10 meg??

I knew there was no way that my files could be that large. I searched and searched to try and find what is causing the commit to be so big. Well, I found it. It's in the .git folder in the Objects folder. It's about 17 meg. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I don't want to keep fighting this from here on out.

Thanks for any help.

I don't think that's it. Nothing in the .git folder should be part of your commit. There is almost certainly another file or files causing this.

Can you go to the command line and do a "git status" and look for all the files it says you've added and check the size of each of them?

If you've caught this before committing, you're lucky, because it's harder to cleanup after committing.

Hi again Tim, It's nice to be talking to you. The way I found out that my files were small and that the .git folders were so big, was I used the properties(right clicking on a folder). On my source code, there's it's not too big at all. but when I right clicked on the .git folder, it showed that it was 17 meg.

So.... the actual question that I have is how do you do the "git status" thing. I tried it at the command line and the OS didn't know what I was talking about (lol). I looked in source tree to see if I could do it there, but didn't see a way I could do it.

Hope you are doing great!

Are you on a Windows machine?

Either way, the easiest way to get to a git command line, if you're used to SourceTree, is probably to click the "Terminal" button in the toolbar. That should open you up to a terminal window, using Git Bash if you're on a PC, in the correct directory.

From there you should be able to type "git status" and get a list of files that git thinks you've added, deleted, and modified since the last commit.

The .git folder is where git keeps all of its own files, including the compressed files of all the previous versions of your repo, etc. Nothing in the .git folder is being added to version control when you do a commit.

Hi Tim. Yes, I'm on a windows pc. I tried to reply earlier, but the icon thing just kept spinning and never stopped so I couldn't write back. I did the "status" command in the terminal window and here's what I got...

I'm not really sure what this means, but you should be able to tell that it shouldn't be as big as they say it was... and it's not smile

So..I would appreciate some help on this issue. How can I resolve this? You know more than I do for sure.

as always, thanks a bunch
