2GB> Repository not letting me push

Arvid Edström

Hello! We are a team of students and we are working on a game project.
We just now realized we can't push our changes anymore due to our repository going over 2GB size. So, therefore, I went in and deleted a bunch of unneeded files and also added more folders to the .gitignore. I removed more than 1GB of files, but it still doesn't let me push and says I have a 2GB repository.

I tried using the command line and typed:

git reset --hard HEAD~1
git push --force

But it still doesn't let me. Can someone please help? Thanks

Hi Arvid! I've run a git gc on your remote repository and the size has decreased to 705.6 MB.

To avoid hitting this limit quickly again, and since you're working on a game project that I assume might contain media files or big files in general, I'd like to recommend enabling Git LFS. Free accounts include 1GB of LFS storage per month.

For more info you can read Git LFS storage in Bitbucket and Use Git LFS with Bitbucket.

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! Now we can get back to working tomorrow.

We will definitely be looking into Git LFS, and be more mindful of our repo size from now on.

Thanks again!

Hi. Am facing the same issue.
Can anybody check my repository named imagerepo , from bitbucket team.

Ana Retamal

Hi @Sujith Royal, I've checked your Bitbucket Cloud account associated to your email address and I couldn't find any repo that you have access to with that name. Do you use a different account to access it?

Let us know!

Hi. I'm new to bitbucket (git altogether) and stuck with a repo with over 2gb limit. I also tried this

git reset --hard HEAD~1
git push --force

Still, it says the repo is in read-only mode. Please have a look.

Hi Redowan, according to your message looks like you only followed steps 4 and 5 from the article Reduce repository size. Please note that only that will not fix the situation. Also, the 1 in git reset --hard HEAD~1 is the number of commits you need to go back to make your repo under 2 GB again.

I've run a remote git gc and the size has come down to 2.5GB, unfortunately that's still over our 2GB limit. Please repeat the steps in the article above so the size can be reduced even more. If you need any additional help, let us know!

Cheers,

Ana

Ana Retamal

Hi! You don't have to worry about your English

I've tried running a remote git gc in your repo, but the size didn't change. Are you sure you reduced the size locally? As I told Redowan, please make sure you're following all the steps in the article Reduce repository size. Keep in mind that the 1 in git reset --hard HEAD~1 is the number of commits you need to go back to make your repo under 2 GB again.

Once you do, let us know again and we'll have a look.

Regards!

Ana

Hi,

I have the same issue with over 2GB. I can't commit any changes to bitbucket now.

Please help me run git gc on my server

Here is my bitbucket repo: https://bitbucket.org/hoanvusolutions/chubb-mobile/

Thanks

Hi @hoanvusolutions ,

I've run a git gc on the remote repository and the size decreased to 1.7 GB.

Let us know if you need anything else!

Have a nice weekend,

Hello,

I am facing the same issue like the people above, my repository size has exceeded the 2GB size limit is it possible to run a git gc on my remote repo? Or revert it back to the latest commit before it actually exceeded the 2GB size limit?

Thank you

Ana Retamal

Hi @Loud Orange

I've run a git gc on your repo but the size only decreased to 2.1 GB. You can check the size of your local repo by running the following command:

git count-objects -Hv

After that, you can follow the steps in the article Reduce repository size to bring the size under 2GB.

Note that we can not perform any actions in your repository so we won't be able to perform those steps for you.

If you need anything else, let us know and we'll be happy to help

Cheers,

Ana

Loud Orange

Hello Ana,

Thank you I will have a further look at this if I need further assistance I will send a message.

Thanks again.

Loud Orange

Hello Ana,

I reverted 2 commits back by doing git reset --hard <<commitID>>

and then git push origin master --force so now the problematic commits that caused my repo to exceed the size limit have disappeared from the commits list. But the repo size is still shown to be 2.13GB.

Is it the case that you have to run again a git gc again so the changes on the repository size can be reflected to me?

Thank you

sorry for my bad English

Alexander Gultsov

Hi @Ana Retamal ,
Could you please give a piece of advice on how to reduce the repository onto bitbucket. Actually, I did actions like:
1)git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch *.zip' -- --all
2)rm -Rf .git/refs/original
3)rm -Rf .git/logs/
4)git gc --aggressive --prune=now
5)git push origin --force

Issue was with '.git' directory.
And the local repository reduced from 1GB+ to 10M. But the remote repository still large .
https://bitbucket.org/pa-server/ctt_test/src/master/

Size still 1.16 GB

Thanks,
Alex

Hello,

We have a repository of 1.1GB size and now we can't commit new things because it will be over 2GB. We know that there is limit size of 2GB or we need to delete some things from this project.

1) Our question is how to get more Storage?
2) What are our options?
3) Use your Bitbucket server options, we have less than 10 employees? Prices are 10$?
4) Is it possible to choose another package, let say Premium? and Get 10GB for one our projects?

Basically we need more than 2GB and what options do we have?

GreenField

My repository run out of 2GB.

I follow "Undoing the last push" now I need your help at step "Remove dangling commit" (Now you'll need to raise a support request to prune the last commit and run garbage collection so that the last commit is completely removed and the repository’s size is reduced.)

Please help!

Victor_v4slep

Hello, I'm having the same problem. We execute the commands:

git <span>reset</span> <span>--hard HEAD~1<br>git push --force<br></span>

We have tried deleting 2 commits. Please is quite urgent.

Thank you

tomislav_resetar

I don't know about the command you executed but I can tell you thatabove 2GB repository is going to do problems with your project. You cant go beyond 2GB. It will overwrite last commit I think. Only thing to do is to move your large files to your server, dropbox or similar.

Victor_v4slep

Hi. We know perfectly well that the maximum is 2GB, the problem is that git keeps a history of everything and as much as we delete the files and push, the files really continue to exist.
Possibly executing a 'git gc' we will be able to reduce the size.
Please, @Ana Retamal , can you do this?

Thanks

But our repo is currently showing as 2.1GB in bitbucket . @Ana Retamal @Alexander Gultsov you think you could help running a git gc for us?

Hi
We are facing a similar issue while pushing code as size exceeded 2GB. First of all, we don't understand how did that happen as our files are in MB and secondly I did git gc in my local repo and it worked but I don't know how to the perform the same in remote repo.

Could you please help?

Hi @Ana Retamal I'm also working on a game project that exceeds 2GB. I've been struggling for hours to minimize the size down. Would it be possible for you to give me a hand on this issue? I really appreciate it.
