Why Bitbucket cloud is showing a different size than my local repo?

Hi @Fricco!

We have tools that allow us to see information from the user's account. We can also get temporary access to the user's account for troubleshooting purposes when the user request help, so if needed, I'll be able to access it even if the repo itself is private.

We've run a git gc from our side and the size of the repo is now 305MB. Is there anything else we can help you with?

Best regards!

Ana

Hi Francisco, I've checked your repositories but I could not find any repo that big. Were you referring to a different account? If so, can you let me know the name of the account and the repo?

Cheers,

Ana

Fricco

Hi @Ana Retamal, thanks for the quick reply. This is a private repo, so don't know if you may be able to see it: https://bitbucket.org/warrantygroup/sfdc-service-cloud/

Thank you.

Wow, thanks a lot @Ana Retamal, just to make sure, if I see a different size between what I see locally in my repo and the remote I should create this kind of post or what is the process for it?

Thank you.

You're welcome, Francisco The size of the repo will not be a problem until you reach the hard limit (2GB) in which case you won't be able to push any new changes. Bitbucket runs automatic garbage collections so the difference in size should be addressed soon.

However, if you're concerned about this or would like to make sure things are ok, you can always let us know here in Community and we'll run the garbage collection for you.

In case your repo does actually reach the 2GB, you can follow the instructions at Reduce repository size to fix it.

Hope that helps!

I am facing the similar issue in my private repo https://bitbucket.org/kabuku/rinkak-mms-connect. The settings page says its size is 1.5 GB while `size-pack` of `git count-objects -v` is 450,238 KB. It's been more than a week since I noticed the gap between the sizes.

In my case, there had once been a big file in commit history, so I forked the repo to https://bitbucket.org/kenji_imamura/rinkak-mms-connect and rewrote history using BFG following the instructions to see if it helps reducing the size of the repo. Now, the settings page of the forked repo says its size is 1.6 GB while `size-pack` of `git count-objects -v` is 92,904 KB.

Will `git gc` also help my case?

Hello @Ana Retamal l am having the same problem. My local folder is 450MB including .git folder but its 2GB on bitbucket therefore l can not push anymore.

Hello, in Bitbucket shows a size of 1.7 GB but my repo locally less when I run "git count-objects -v". Am I missing something here? Is Bitbucket Cloud counting something else? I haven't change anything locally and did a git pull.

I am facing a similar issue in my private repo https://bitbucket.org/scotneygroup/toca-system/src/b_Dev_3_1/

The settings page says its size is 1.1 GB while `size-pack` of `git count-objects -v`is 463810 KB.

In my case, there had once been a big file in commit history, so I forked the repo to https://bitbucket.org/lalarukh/test-lala/src/b_Dev_3_1/ and rewrote history using BFG following the instructions to see if it helps to reduce the size of the repo.

Now, the settings page of the forked repo says its size is 1.3 GB while `size-pack` of `git count-objects -v` is 434997 KB.

I tried to run the git gc but it seems to not work in my case. Can you help me with this?

Hi @LalaRukh Talha ,

You're seeing different sizes because you're measuring different things (remote repo vs local repo) and they don't always have to match.

Forking the repo will not help, as it will just copy everything from the old repo, including its history (which contains the big file you mentioned above). If you want this file to not be part of the repo, the easiest way would be to delete the image and start a new repository from scratch (initializing git again and uploading it to Bitbucket) so there's no trace from that file.

Running a git gc on the local won't work either, as what you want to reduce is the size of the remote. I've run a git gc on the remote for you and the size has decreased to 215.2 MB.

Hope that helps!

Ana

Awesome! Thanks for the info @Ana

Hi, sorry to jump on the gc wagon https://bitbucket.org/iagreejira/beta

thanks!

Hi Paul, no worries! I've run a a git gc in your remote repo and the size has decreased to 248.3 MB.

Have a nice day,

Hey @Ana Retamal Ortiz,

Could I also get `git gc` run on our https://bitbucket.org/vosbalance repos? The one says it's 1.2 gigs, but locally I have `size-pack: 168.69 MiB`.

Thanks!!

fjmolina

Hi @Ana Retamal ! I've the same problem, could you please run a git gc on the repository https://bitbucket.org/marcelofrias/bliss ?

How could i run git gc in my repo? Just asking for future. Thanks !

https://bitbucket.org/gp-gopay/id-ocr

Hi Facundo

I've run the git gc on the remote but the size hasn't changed, it remains as 1.9 GB.

For the future, you could run git gc on your repository using the following command. Note that this will only apply to your local repository, this will not be executed on the remote repository that is hosted in our servers.

However, that will not magically decrease the size of your repository, you'll need to reduce the size of your repository as explained at Reduce repository size.

Let us know if you have any questions!

Best regards,

Ana

Miroslav Bartyzal

Hi @Ana Retamal , could you take a look on this repo too? It should be much smaller than it is currently shown. It is like that for more than a month after the cleanup.

https://bitbucket.org/solutelabs/slnewwesbite/

Hi @Miroslav Bartyzal , I've run a git gc on the remote and the size decreased to 8.7 MB.

Cheers!

Hi @Ana Retamal Ortiz, could you run `git gc` on https://bitbucket.org/alwaysai/edgeiq-models/? I just migrated all the large files to git LFS with BFG but the size listed on Bitbucket is even larger than before!

ericvanbuhler

Could you also run 'git gc' on https://bitbucket.org/alwaysai/edgeiq/? We cleaned that one up a while back and I noticed that the size is still quite large. I wonder if garbage collection will also help on this repo.

Christopher Paterson

Issue was resolved by contacting support.

pkl_wellborn

Hi @Ana Retamal Ortiz,

I have reduced our repo to 26meg using:

$> git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch curator/assets/' --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

and

$>git push origin --all --force

and

$>git push origin --tags --force

Worked great! But BitBucket still shows 1.6G.

Can you please `git gc` on git@bitbucket.org:pkl_wellborn/curator.git so it will show the updated size?

Thanks!

Can we run gc by ourselves in our repos?

Hi @Ana Retamal or Atlassian Team,

I am also facing the same issue. My code folder is actually around 0.25 GB (size-pack 251487 KB's), but the repository is showing 1.85 GB.

Could you please help me to resolve this? as after 2GB my repo will become read only mode.

Thanks,

Logesh

Hi Atlassian Team,

I have a similar issue: my private repository should be around 145 MiB, while Bitbucket cloud shows 1.54GB.

Could you, please, run git gc on https://georgy_guryev@bitbucket.org/georgy_guryev/pfft.git ?

Thanks,

Thank you

Please run git gc on https://balramt_r@bitbucket.org/triedgeteam/triedge_repo.git

Thank you in advance

Hi @triedge_s ,

I've run the git gc but the size has not changed, it stays at 1.8GB. Can you confirm what's the size of your local repository?

Best regards,

Ana

triedge_s

Thank you for your quick response.

@Ana Retamal The size of local repository is 821 MB.

Hi @triedge_s ,

I've run git gc again but the size hasn't changed. Can you confirm that you pushed the new reduced repository to the remote? You need to take action on your side first so it will be reflected on the remote.

Let us know if you need anything else!

Ana

Daniel Crowder

Our repository was stating a 1.5GB size via the admin page and we tried deleting two build branches in hopes of purging the commit history and then recreated them. By doing so the repository size jumped up to 1.7GB.

Locally, however, the size is at most 600MB.

Could you run git gc on bitbucket.org:nrfwebmaster/d8.nrf.com.git to see if there is any reduction in the size?

Thank you in advance.

Tobias Hornberger

Hi, please run a remote git gc on https://bitbucket.org/Craftnote/mycrafty

count-objects shows 1.26 GiB, but Bitbucket Cloud shows 2.45 GiB

Thanks

dancrowder

@thornberger I ran into this issue last week and was able to get a faster response by submitting a ticket via https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/.

Just mark the ticket as Level 3.

Hope you get a response soon.

Tobias Hornberger

Thanks, problem fixed itself by making a commit which I guess triggered the remote gc.

Glad it got solved, @Tobias Hornberger

The garbage collection usually gets run automatically although sometimes it might take longer. If you need anything else in the future, lets us know.

Best regards,

Ana

Hi Dan,

I've checked your repository and I could see that its current size is 96.5 MB, so it seems like the automated git gc run on it already.

For the future, I'd recommend you submitting a new question, as replying to an already existing (an old) one will reduce the chances of one of us seen it.

Best regards!

Ana

Hi @ariel

End users don't have access to the remote repositories as they're hosted in Bitbucket, so you won't be able to run git gc there. Git gc runs automatically on the repos, although sometimes you can ask us to run them manually if you urgently need the size to be reduced to the same size you have on your local (after you've followed the steps at Reduce repository size).

Hope that explains!

Hello @Ana Retamal ,

I have the same problem, could you please take a look at our repository?

Current size shows 1.01 GB for some reason.

Thank you!

Hi @Logesh Praveen Shunmugavelu

The size of your repository is not only the size of the size pack, it's the total size of the items displayed when you run

git count-objects

From the official Git documentation:

count: the number of loose objects

size: disk space consumed by loose objects, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

in-pack: the number of in-pack objects

size-pack: disk space consumed by the packs, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

prune-packable: the number of loose objects that are also present in the packs. These objects could be pruned usinggit prune-packed.

garbage: the number of files in object database that are neither valid loose objects nor valid packs

size-garbage: disk space consumed by garbage files, in KiB (unless -H is specified)

As you can see, the rest of the items such as garbage and duplicate objects also counts as part of the repository size.

I've checked the size of the remote and it's 1GB at the moment. If you still don't think this corresponds to the size of the local repo, please show us the output of git count-objects and we'll continue helping you.

Best regards,

Ana

Please find attached the output of git count-objects -vH. As you see below the size-pack is just 231.26 MiB, but not sure why the repository is showing 1.02 GB. Would it be possible to clear garbage and duplicate objects?

Thanks,

Good day @Ana Retamal, I have a similar issue with my repo called nafc.

Hello @Ana Retamal,

Sorry to add to your list aha, but I'm also having this problem with this repo: https://bitbucket.org/neuromersiv/neuromersiv-vr

Local object count reports size as 183MB, but the repo still says 1.6GB, I've given it a couple days to see if it'd automatically run the GC, but so far nothing has changed.

Thanks!

Hi @Ana Retamal , seeing as this ticket seems to say your job is just running git gc on repos, due to it not updating on bitbucket properly, could you run it on mine please?

Hi @Ana Retamal

1. Can you help us understand why this irregularity occurs in the bitbucket cloud?
2. Is it possible to do git GC from our end rather than connecting Atlassian every time this issue occurs and how?

Thanks in advance
