How do we reduce the size of our repo? Filtered branches, done local clean ups, but never seems to make a difference in Repository details. How often is GC done on bitbuckets end? Is there a way to trigger it.

Hello @Brett ,

and welcome to the Community!

GC is executed from time to time based on some repository heuristics that calculate parameters such as loose objects.

I went ahead and triggered a manual GC on the biggest repository I found under the workspace you provided when posting this question. This helped to reduce ~500MB of its original size.

If you would like to reduce the size of that repository further, follow the instructions in the article Reduce Repository Size | Bitbucket Cloud.

I hope that helps! Let us know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @Brett !
