BitBucket claims our repo is 2GB and blocked

Question

But the size locally is much smaller.

Looking at other threads there might be a need to run GC on BitBucket:

How to proceed with this?

If you experience your BitBucket repo size is bigger than it should be try the following:

On a branch (you don't need to do it on your main branch)

git reset --hard HEAD~1

git push --force

This will send your branch "back in time" and for some stupid reason trigger BitBucket to clean up your repo (GC)

(at least that is the theory)
